dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower?

I'm going to buck just about everyone here, but hear me out.

I'm also in a 10'x12' room with a pair of monitors very similiar to the C1's. I auditioned both extensively when I went to replace my B&W Silver Signature's.

I also tried a Pass XA30.5 amp, thinking that it would be enough power in the small room. It wasn't! You need power for the C1's, just like I do.

Now here's the kicker. My chair is centered and up against the back wall. My speakers are 8' from the front wall, 4' from my head. I have no room treatments other than crown molding because of where the speakers are located.

A good friend and super audiophile set my room up this way for me, and I freaked out when I saw it. Then I sat down and the soundstage was not in my face, but back behind the speakers. The real blessing was that my soundstage was much deeper than it had ever been before.

It may break every standard audio setup, but it is insanely good. Everyone who walks into my room thinks that they're going to be blasted out, but after they sit down and listen, it's nothing but smiles at what they're hearing.

Cmalak,

No, I have no treatments at all except that I removed my old and only Echo Busters Corner Busters when I put up the crown molding.

I had bought absorbers and diffusors to try, but all the absorbers did was suck the life out of the music and the diffusors didn't even make a difference.

It's funny, but great because the absorbers and diffusors cost a pretty penny, made the small room look smaller and didn't do anything to a good effect.

My room looks like a normal room with a stereo in it and sounds fantastic!
