Devore is super approachable and knows how to get superb sound out of a bizarre shaped phone booth hotel room. Call em.
Of course the room matters but it isn’t everything…….

Room Dimensions and Devore
I am considering using space in my office as a dedicated listening area. I had the pleasure recently of auditioning both the Devore O/93 and O/96. Both were tremendous speakers and I would be happy with either, although in the rectangular shaped room I heard them in, I liked the O/96 a bit more.
My main concern is about the irregular shape of my room that I would be placing them in, diagramed here: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9665 When placing the speakers approximately two feet from the side walls, this will leave approximately 7 feet between tweeters. The room is carpeted and I would be adding acoustic panels to the walls.
I welcome feedback on two questions. First, given the placement of the speakers and position of the couch, any downsides to room dimensions - that is, will the shape disrupt the acoustics in such a way that I should think twice about using this space as a listening room? Second, given the placement of the speakers and distance between them, any reason why the O/93 or O/96 would be better than the other? That is, for those who own the O/96s, is 7 feet between tweeters sufficient distance to really take advantage of their benefits?
Thanks in advance!
