Hi all his is my first post here.
I am looking to buy a pair of 800 series speakers. I have narrowed it down to the 800d or the 802d. I have listened to them both and it is pretty clear to my ears that the 800s were superior
I have also been offered a good deal on the 800's as the are ex demo (and in the colour I want)
However my question here is if they will be suitable for my room.
I have added a sketch.The room is 27 foot long x 11.5 foot wide and 8.5 foot high. The room is lower than the rest of the house so there are two sets of steps as can be seen at the bottom which my setee is up against. The opening is a fireplace at the front and is around 8 foot wide.
The speakers would be about 7 foot from my ears but around 8 foot from each other not a perfect triange.
Would the 800's be too much for this sort of distance and this size of room?Should I just go with the 802's?
The alternative would be to place them at the far right of the room firing lengthways but would mean a listening position of more than twice the distance between the speakers unless I place them much further from the side right wall around 6 foot into the room.
Any avice from you guys would be more than welcome.
My dealer is unwilling to allow a home demo of the 800's due to the weight of them but will do a demo of the 802's.
best regards
Darren
