Room size suitable for which Wilsons?

My room size is 12.5' X 26' X 10' height, with the speakers on the short wall.

I've a pair of Watt/Puppy 8s on order, but was offered a great deal on MAXX2s.

Will the MAXX2s overload/kill my room acoustics? According to Cardas' ratio, I have to place the W/Ps 3.5 ft from the side wall, leaving only about 5.5ft from speaker to speaker.

I've written to Jfrech, and he's kindly advised that the MAXX2s won't be a problem, whilst another dealer said that its '100%' MAXX2s won't work. Jim Smith of Get Better Sound thinks it might be a little tight too.

Comments/advice greatly appreciated!

my room is 16 x 14 with ceilings 9' 7". my watt puppy's sound very, very good. i have no treatments with the exceptions of three floor to ceiling drapes and a painting on canvas that covers most of one side wall. i am sure some bass treatments would help out but it sounds great. a close friend who sold wilson for 15 years also thinks it sounds great.

good luck whatever you decide.
