My 3.1's are in a 16X24X10 room with door openings outside of the speakers. These speakers are everything people say they are. I recommend a sub-amp to power the second voice coil. This allows the flexibility to accomodate any room. My 3.1's sound best to me close to the wall (1 foot).
The Boston Acoustics SA-1 has LFE input, phase switch, volume control, 240 W @ 4 ohms and adjustable crossover if you care to use it. My SA-1 volume is set at 2.5 on a 1 to 10 volume scale. I use the LFE input and control the crossover through my PrePro. For classical music or home theater, the second voice coil really takes the speakers down low.
