Excellent point. The objective is to improve SQ AND avoid near field listening. I enjoy classical music, large scale symphonic works and such. I would like to feel the scale as much as possible to simulate a concert hall. While I know it's highly unlikely to perfect, I am looking for a way to maximize this, if at all possible in 11x14 room.
I plan on using SF Elipsa SE and/or Focal Micro utopia, using SET Mastersound. I've experimented with this and the amp drives my speakers without any difficultly.
