B&W 805 to 804


I have the N805's in my system now,but have a good chance of upgrading to the 804's. My one concern is the size of my room. It's 15'by 15' by 7'. I sit 9 feet back now from the 805's and there are 8' feet apart. The 804's will be in the same place,but with them being a larger speaker will I be able to enjoy them at lower levels?
Main pieces are Anthem AVM 30,ATI 1807,Denon 2900.
The smaller speakers are fine but but that dedicated mid range is nice. Little Help Guys.

In my experience, the size of the speaker doesn't have much to do with how well it performs at low volumes.

I had N804s in my 14x13 room and they worked well although in the end, I wanted more bass extension. In your case, I don't think you will have that problem! The 804S is supposed to have more bass and a bigger sound than its predecessor.
