My experience....
I've run the arro's with an aleph 3 for many years in a variety of rooms, from small (12 x 14) to large size (14 x 22). I was able to get adequate sound levels in all situations, but felt the smaller room really complimented the combo, the larger room would accentuate the lack of low end. The sound quality in a small room was amazing. Pure and transparent. The imaging was totally enveloping. Not just from the plane of the speaker and back, but localized sounds all around me. It's a "you are there" experience, rather than a "they are here" sound. I've used a proceed AVP running in 2 channel mode and then went onto a BAT VK-3i. I preferred the AVP.
