Same issue here. Had to sell Acoustat Model III's, after a costly divorce and downsize to a much smaller room. I was actively bi-amping the panels with a pair of transmission line woofers, built just for them. Still using the woofers, but- with a modded pair of Magnepans. You can probably get away with using the 1+1's. One nice thing about narrow dispersion speakers: less sidewall issues. If you can make it a dedicated listening room, kill any echo, from the wall behind the listening position. I installed treatments, from two feet from the floor, to my ceiling and LENRDs, in the corners. Auralex makes some great treatments, for the purpose: (http://www.amazon.com/Auralex-Acoustic-Absorption-Charcoal-8-count/dp/B0002G10QU) (http://www.amazon.com/Auralex-Studiofoam-Acoustic-Absorption-Charcoal/dp/B0002D05KA/ref=pd_cp_MI_0) There are now less expensive knock-offs, on eBay: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Pack-of-2-x-12-x-12-Charcoal-Acoustic-Studio-Foam-Wedge-Tiles-/121375790877?pt=US_Acoustical_Treatments&hash=item1c428f971d) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soundproofing-Foam-Acoustic-Bass-Absorbers-Traps-SP8-/321457224077?pt=US_Other_Pro_Audio&hash=item4ad857f98d) (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1313.TR9.TRC1.A0.H0.Xacoustic+foam&_nkw=acoustic+foam&_sacat=0&_from=R40)
