Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?

What size room qualifies as a small to medium? Would my room be considered medium?

I have an odd shaped room. It is about 22'x 13' kind of an L shape open on 1 side to a stairwell. The area I listen in is about 13' of the 22'. The remaining part (behind the listening area) is the dining room. I am hoping I will get the bass I need.

How do the Caravelles sound when played at low volume?

Thanks to everyone for your input. Good chance I will be ordering a pair this week. I will only be left with about $1500 to $1900 for an amplifier(used). I can get a better amp in about a year. I have a Gryphon Tabu pre which is pretty good. I also have a Resolution Audio Opus 21 cdp on the way. Can anyone suggest a good amp in my price range?

Well I purchased the Caravelles today. Talked with Robert for about an hour and a half. He was very informative and assured me if I had any problem within 30 days he would have no problem taking them back. From everyones comments I really doubt that I will be taking him up on that. Now all I have to do is get an amp for them and I will be set. Thanks to all for your input. I can't wait to hear them!

I will definitly keep everyone updated. I should be receiving them by the end of next week. Thanks again for your help.

I have decided to take a chance on these speakers. I really do not care what kind of drivers they have or what the cabinets are made of. I listened to all the tech information that Robert told me about on the phone. It all sounds great, but the only thing I am interested in is the sound. The bottom line for me is I have 30 days to listen. If I do not think that the speakers are worth it, back they will go. I will only be out $100 shipping to me and half of that back to them. $150 total. Belive me, $5000 is a lot of money to me. I am currently on disability and have a fixed income. I sold my old system and am starting over. If these speakers are not awsome, I will not keep them. If they are what others owners are saying they are, I will have no problem paying their price. I warned Robert on the phone that I will tell it like it is. If I don't like the Carevelles, I will let people know. He said that he is not worried. The company seems very confident of their product. That was one of the reasons I thought I would give them a shot. We will see.

I have had someone tell me that because this is a ported design, I will be able to hear the port. He said because it is a small speaker that I would hear it in the mids. Can anyone explain what he means by this?

Scotty333, Having heard the Caravelles on your tubes and on Hifimaniacs Big Krells, which sound do you prefer? I still don't know if I want to go tube or SS.

Thanks guys for the information. I have to look into an amp now because I sold my old amp and speakers. All I have is a CD player and preamp. I am asking about the amps because I want to give the speakers a fair chance. I was leaning toward tubes but have never owned any tube amps before. I have had tube preamps with SS amps and that worked well. I might try it the other way around this time. I am not at all familiar with tube amps, so I can use advise on some good amps. How are the less expensive VAC amps. The PHI series is a little out of my current price range. I am also looking at the Butler 2250 and Music Reference RM 9.

Warrenh, I did go with the dedicated stands. The stands on the website do look interesting. It must be kind of tough to adjust speaker position, but once they are set up that is no longer an issue. I am sure they work quite well.
Ozzy62 or Blcube what is the difference between the RM 9 and the MK II version?

I forgot to add the SS amps I was considering Sim W-5, Plinius SA 102, Ayre V5X, Pass X150.5 or X250.
