my listening room is 28x17 and he said it might be questionable as far as filling the room. I recently sold Devore o93 and it was fine I just think the o96 will be better
What is this "filling" of the room, you're talking about? Are you and your ears omnipresent in every lil inch, nook and corner of your room somehow? No, it sits 9 feet triangulated from a pair of speakers. Any speaker should "fill" the room for ya.
