My sound room is 15' x 24' x 9'. I'm wondering if the 800 Diamonds would be too big for this room?? What room sizes do others have with the 800's? Thanks for any advice.

caberxx,
I have 802D's in an 11' X 16' X 8' room. I've also put in acoustic treatments in my room, a dedicated HT room. The sound is incredible.
I know the 800D's are definitely bigger sounding. Your room should be fine to put them in. You may need to consider a few acoustic treatments to bring out some additional performance. And feed them plenty of current (think a very high current amp).
Hope this helps. -
+1 I have them in a 15x14x8 with treatments and a lot of stuff to defuse the sound and could not be happier. You will sacrifice depth, at least that is the main difference I feel I am missing compared to when I listened to the 800D's in a room 22x30x10 and not treated as well as mine.Originally posted by htsteveI refuse to tip-toe through life only to arrive safely at death...

i used mine in a room that was 15 x 22 x 10, the 800d were very forgiving of room limitations compared to other speakers i used in the same room, go for it, they will suit your room fineComment

My room is 20x13x8 and I found the 800D's sounded fine, however the room did look a little over powered as I had two 2.5 seater sofas, with just 1 sofa it would have been fine.SoundEngine355

My room is 20 x 18 x 10 and the multichannel set-up for SACD includes three 802Ds and two 802N are great. I treated the ceiling and have thick curtains for the windows.
I just feel I am a bit underpowered at the time! I have a CA-5200 and am waiting for the new CT-5300 to bi-amp the speakers. That should increase the current for the 802s:B I will use the CA-5200 for the tweeter and mid and the CA-5300 for the bass.Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."Dwight D.

My daughter is moving out this summer, which means I am free to start from scratch on a project in a spare bedroom. It is 13'x12' w/10' ceiling.
I am looking at a music only room with treatments, but also curious if that size is too small for home theater.

Hi, I've recently stumbled on RealTraps.com and noticed their products and frankly, suprised to find out how affordable these things are. I'm still in the process of upgrading and getting most of the componets for my living room HT and realized that room acoustics has a major role in the overall audio...23 September 2004, 20:57 Thursday -
Went with a group to Stereo Exchange in NYC to hear their wares. And the new 800 series were there.
Let me just say that to all the people complaining about the way the speaker looks with the silver trim, rest assured that it looks very handsome in person. I think the flash on camera's... -
Well,
I just thought I'd post up here that I'm thinking about the 802s... I got offered the 802Ds for a decent price (about 8K, these are demos with about 200 to 300 hours on them max) and after hearing them. They are very nice! I like how the soundstage is absolutely HUGE. In fact... -
So I'm looking into getting into the club. I've heard my fair share of speakers and although I have to seriously audition the Sophia 3, Sasha 2, and the Alexias from Wilson - I am looking like I enjoy the sound coming out of the 802 Diamond and the 800 Diamond.
