Large Room which speakers?

^Very Good Advice.

Evolution Acoustics MM2. My room is 24x28 with 12 foot cathedral. Powered woofers are the ticket and you won't need a super power amp to get ear splitting levels.

How many of you guys will use a sub with a non full speaker? From reading and hearing, they only time I've ever heard a set of subs set up and really be coherent is with a set of full range speakers. I have a sub with some monitors for my second system and it's only because I watch mostly TV and it's for basic effects and to fill in, but I can't listen to music for any length of time on it. Just curious.

Good points by Marty.

Larger omnidirectional speakers are a very good choice for
larger rooms when good sound throughout is a consideration.

OHM Walsh speakers are a lower cost option to mbl and are
designed to work well closer to walls if needed. I have two
larger rooms and a pair of OHMs in each that have won out
over everything else over the years mainly for that reason.

I also have two smaller rooms, and in there, I often prefer
smaller more directional monitor designs.

My living room is 18x24 feet with a two storey ceiling at one end. Open to the dining room. I have always been a stand/monitor guy and was in a similar quandry. I founf a great deal on a pair of definitive technology ST8080s. I had a small set of def techs years ago in my office system so i took a chance. Very very happy. These are a second generation bi-polar design with built in powered subwoofers. Well balanced and they fill the room perfectly and the bass is much better than i
i've been able to do in my two ther systems with separate subs.
