My room is quite large at 11.8 feet high X 41 feet long X 19 feet wide.
I am considering either 803s or 804s. I am concerned that large floorstanders with larger woofers are be harder to position to avoid muddy bass, I have basically zero positioning room. I will have a low entertainment unit in the middle (1.8m wide) of the fronts with the centre on top; there is a diagonal refelection in the form of a wooden bar to about 2ft to the right of the front right speaker and the speakers have a wall behind them. I wonder what effect the larger cabinet has on the speakers as well as the bigger drivers and if plugging the rear ports will help.
Ideally i'd like to audition both in my room but i havn't spoken to the dealer yet.
I will be getting a sub either a 15" or a 12" Velodyne DD or B&W (probably Velodyne). I'm not sure if the 15" will mean more or less boominess compared to the 12" and whether the 15" will integrate as well as a 12"; I prefer mostly punchy tight bass. Will a sub integrate better with the 804's or the 803's; what XO are people using for their subs with B&W 804s/803's?
Thanks
