i've been an audiophile for 5 decades and i've had all sorts of rooms with all manner of equipment. my tastes have changed, but physics has not.
i'm moved into a LR which is 31 x 21 ft. the stereo will be on the short wall, with speakers approx 8-10 feet apart, and out from the wall. and the listening area will be within a 12-15 ft square facing that.
the overarching question is: should i give up on moving lot's of air with large speakers and settle for small monitors that image well in the right spot, and quit. i listen to classical, but also rock and pop.
or should i update my towers and try to fill this space?
i'm a techie but not an engineer, and given my taste changes, i'm inclined to say 'quit' and go small and not try to do the impossible.
what do folks think?
