I am indecisive about choice due to room size


Hi all,

My stereo room is 12x12 and already have the Sonus Faber V speakers and love them. I'm looking at upgrading to the VIII, but don't know if I have enough room. I'm running these with the Naim Star, NAS and use Nordost Frey 2 speaker cable and power cord. Also, am looking at trading my Star in for the Lumin T2 streamer and the new Levinson 5805 integrated. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Best regards.

I am the king of small rooms, I have had many set-ups in small rooms that sounded great. In fact I had a 12X12 room not long ago. A small room has it’s limits on volume because the room gets saturated and the sound is bouncing all around. But listening in the near field can be very interesting and enjoyable. My only concern about larger speakers in a small room is if the tweeter and midrange drivers get too far apart you my have an issue with seating height and finding the vertical sweet spot. Other than that bigger/better speakers always sound better than smaller/lesser speakers (most of the time with some exceptions).
