Large Speakers Small Rooms

Rob,

Von Schweikert VR4jrs are almost ridiculous for that room. They are incredible speakers but need a lot of room to breath.

Romakabi, here's your answer finally. My bedroom is downright tiny (8.5' x 12'), but the music is incredible in the room. I own a McIntosh/Totem setup. Please look at my system.

This has to be one of the best small room set ups. As a matter of fact, I dare, double dare people to post a better small room system. I hope that didn't sound too aggressive, I just want to see what can be achieved in a small room.

Just shove a Kharma/Tenor/Meitner/WalkerAudio system in a closet. I'm thinking the 3.2 CRM monitors. That should sing in a small room. Cost? About as much as my 1300 sq.ft house.

i have studio 100s and had them in a real small room and the bass overloaded the room badly,,when i moved to a larger place they sounded much better,,if i ever move to a smaller place the 100s are going up for sale,,

Spacekadet - I know I know it is ridiculous for the VS speakers. It's temporary otherwise I would be using bookshelves. But I do (after hard labor and pain) have the set up working (obviously not at its potential)

I am going to try corner placement nonetheless. I think that would be the best solution from what I've heard. I will report back to this thread what difference it made since it is relative. If you don't hear from me in a week or so Call 911 – I’m buried in stereo equipment!
