In Reply to: Room size ? posted by peppy m. on December 20, 2024 at 11:59:50:
Thanks, Peppy. Not sure about that. They are 44" tall and have 8" and 10" woofers. My listening room is 20x26. My listening position is in an 8' equilateral triangle with the speakers about 7' into the room.
I have managed to load the room to 104dB with them playing electronica, it is just massed strings that seem to be an issue. It is very weird. Or maybe I am very weird. ;-)

- Yes, the newer models use foil glued to the mylar instead of wires, called "quasi-ribbon". It's more reliable. - MWE 17:44:40 12/23/24 (3)
