Devore 0/96 and Room Size


I've really enjoyed the 0/96 every time I've heard them and there are a couple of used pairs for sale now. My biggest concern is that my room is 15 feet deep. I believe at least 8 feet is recommended so that the drivers blend and I don't want them closer than 3 or 4 feet from the wall behind, which only leaves 2 or 3 feet behind the listening chair. Would love to hear from owners about their experiences. Thanks.

@grannyring,

If I were considering dipoles, such as electrostatics, I would definitely try them along the 15 foot wall, but box speakers have generally sounded best along the 19.5 wall. I think that the sloped ceiling creates an amphitheater effect.

Thanks everyone! I think the room is marginal. It could be large enough, but maybe not. I think it’s a great idea to talk with John Devore, since it sounds like he wouldn’t mind. If anybody should know…

The room is 15 x 19.5, and the ceiling slopes from 7.5 to 9.5 ft. My intention is to place the speakers along the 19.5 wall at the 7.5 end.
