speakers/ amps liking one another

Thanks so much for the posts. When I first started putting together this rooms system I debated on stand a mounts  rather than the bigger towers. However, It is what it is  now.   The Peachtree units were originally in my bigger room and didn't sound bad. Other room is a 20x30 portion of my shop which houses construction equipment, M/C's etc. Great acoustics, just lucky I guess. However, when the Peachtree units were replaced with the ATI Amp and Benchmark Line Amp a metamorphosis had taken place. Just trying to wrap my head around that. In the smaller room, there is a large couch, a floor rug,  pictures  etc. Also an open door leading to a bathroom on one end, and on the other side and open door leading to a hallway. I don't think there is much I can do with the room??? Just not sure whether it's too much loudspeaker,  or to little of a room, or needing a stronger Amp? Or none of the above, or all of the above??? Thanks again for everyone's time and expertise. Robert

After reading a response from Avanti1960, I am wondering how accurate he is on his assessment of the Focal speakers? I set my purchase decision on the Focals based solely on reviews, never heard them prior to ownership. He may be right. How easily I was influenced at the time,  and receiving a good deal on them too. I know my ATI AMP 6002 was a huge upgrade over the Peachtree. Now I'm wondering if the speakers are the bigger issue?  I have little hair left now. Thanks again.......Ps   I listen solely to R&R loudly.    I LOVE MY TEKTONS TOO!

Thank you all so much for your suggestions. Starting tomorrow I will move a few things around. (substitutions)  I'm very curious to hear the Focals in my other space, which is much larger and has great acoustics.  I'd agree with most all of you that the current room in question is very limiting and may be my biggest issue? I had originally thought that the Focal 948's were too much for the room, but let the name and Great deal $$ influence my overall decision.  I am laughing a little bit, thinking of moving that AMP as it weighs almost 100 lbs. A little trial and error session forth coming.  Thanks all  !!!

Good evening: I spent the better part  of the day trying different things. I removed the Focal Aria 948's from the room in question. I had an older pair of boxed stand a mount JBL Studio monitors 530 (book shelf) speakers. $600 bucks a few years ago. For the money, they are a GREAT bargain. Combine them with a good SUB, in a small area and you have a nice system. Which is what I found out today. WOW!!! The folks that commented on the room were spot on, and the one's that stated the 948's wee too much, were spot on. The smaller stand a mount was perfect.  I will start to look for a much better book shelf in the next few days. Electronics in the near future. Hard to believe the difference.  Absolutely, too much speaker for the room. Also, tried the Focal's in my main area, sounded very good in a larger area, but, for rock and roll,  I preferred my Tektons.Will be selling the Focal's very soon,probably through the MUSIC ROOM. They have been very good to me in the

  past. Any one interested, please let me know. They are PRISTINE!!!! Make me a reasonable offer. Hey, Thanks everyone that tried to help, MUCH appreciated. Now will start looking for a very good bookshelf. Robert

To Mesch and to Shtinkydog:  I will definitely  look at the Fritz speakers, your models for sure. Thank you !!!!      Also to shtinkydog, I have had them for a while and then they just sat.  You are totally correct, they are truly amazing speakers for the money, what they can do .  I will never sell them, they are like a collectors model. Congrats on owning them too. Happy Thanksgiving. Robert
