Large listening room

My room is 22'x 25'....I use fullrange dipoles. IMO, dipoles and large rooms, are about as good as it gets in sound reproduction.

Horns would be great too!

Jimmy, your room is a good size, but not really that large. Regardless, you are NOT trying to fill the whole room with sound, right? I assume you will try and keep your listening distance to 10 or 12 feet? For me, the value of a large room is that you reduce problematic first reflections off the walls. You might tell us how you hope to set up the orientation of the system to the room and how far off the walls you can place your speakers. I had some 805’s and those speakers can put out some serious decibels. You have the right amount of watts to drive them right and a subwoofer to boot. You might be in pretty good shape. I would set up the 805’s with a good 4 or 5 ‘ clearance from side and front walls and give it a whirl. Best of luck!

unfortunatly, this room is doing triple duty. It is for listening, HT and a playspace for my little one.
Far from ideal, I know.
Basically, COmpnents are set up across one of the 16 foot walls and seating is across the other. I might be able to get away with bringing the couch in a couple of feet but the floor needs to be open and clear for my little girl to play.
As a side note, I am looking at bringing the 805s's down to a much smaller study (not sure, but less than 10x10) to see what that room sounds like.
For the larger room, I do need the space, so does anyone have ideas for a seating area that is 15 feet from the plane of the speakers?
