Thought I'd respond to your question about a big room. I have Andra IIs in a 23'X 13.5' X 9' room, and while the A IIs sound superb, I would have some real hesitation about a pair of Savoys in that room, especially in the bass. I heard the Savoys and Andra IIs side by side, but in a smaller room, at a show, and thought that the Andra IIs just about worked, with a slight bit of overload in the bass, but that the Savoys just overpowered the space. Your room is about 4' wider, which might help, but I don't know how much. As to the JM Labs, hell of a speaker, but I wouldn't attempt to squeeze either of the ones you suggest into my space. Maybe yours would work. One other thought--the A IIs are designed to go close to the front wall (within 2'), and I believe the Savoys are also, but I believe the recommendation on JMLabs floorstanders is 4'-5'. If that's so, you may want to think about that issue, especially if you're putting them along the long wall.
JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston Savoy?
I'm in the market to purchase a truly musical speaker, and have heard the Nova's at a local dealer (Palo Alto, CA). However, I'm also considering (but haven't yet auditioned) the Savoy's. I'd love to learn from anyone who has had experience with either (or both:) of these speakers.
Thank you very much!
