Room size and floor standing speakers


Hi there,
I am looking to the future when I may want to go with a floor standing speaker. I have a monitor right now and it sounds great, but...

My room size ir 22L*13W*8H. Is this big enough to fit a floor stander. I've read on some other forums that fitting to big a speaker into small space is just not great.

Any feedback would be great.

I have heard several JM Labs speakers and was pleasantly surprised. They will offer much more speaker for the money...

As a gross generalization (which I tend to do) I would say you have a medium sized room and therefore will be able to use most speakers. Medium sized floorstanding speakers will work best, small speakers (all except the very best) will get lost in your room, while huge floorstanders will over power the room...

How's that for gross?!?

Mariasplunge, you're gonna buy what you want, and I know the marketing machine for B&W speakers is a steamroller, but there are lots of better speakers for the money. I have heard more than my fair share of their speakers and have never heard one I wanted buy...

Just do your homework. If you do, and B&W is the winner, then buy them. BUT don't buy them based on some kind of reputation.

JMNSHO...
