Opinion on Audio Physics Virgos In small room

I have a very small room dedicated for my music listening. It's 11'x 12'x 8'. So I do mean small. I have Mirage M7si speakers now, with Audio Research electronics. I've just gone from A.R. solidstate to tubes. The equipment now exceeds the speakers capablity. The Mirages have a huge soundstage with good imaging. Now I'm looking for excellent imaging, depth and dimension, and better detail. Reading the reviews, it seems the Virgos are difficult to set up. Would they work in a room this size?

I own the Virgo IIs. I agree they're a great speaker, but need to be set up effectively, so the question would be whether you have a lot of other furniture in the room that makes set up difficult. You need to have them at least 1/4 way into the room from the rear wall and the side wall to be effective. If you can do that, then you're all set. Ideally, you could place them half way into the room from the rear wall (center of the room) and one quarter from each side wall, but it's not practical for most rooms unless you have a dedicated room. Both above placement options are discussed at the Inmedia site (US distributor). Cheers,
John.
