I have a REL R305 in a 17 x 15 x 9 room and it is more than enough and sounds great. The internal crossover is very good however I'm driving it via a Velodyne SMS 1. It replaced a Velodyne HGS 10 which was very good but the REL just sounds more natural, on paper it's specs are not as good as the Velodyne's but I prefer it for music.
I have known of REL since their begining, but the first time I had really listened to one was when I walked into a dealer who was doing a demo with a T2. It sounded great and I was looking for a sub so I asked him to pull out a R205 and then a R305. The 205 is great for small rooms and it probably best for someone looking for a high performance 2.1 system that is compact.
The 305 is great for a small to medium size room and probably isn't the best choice for a HT only system. I'm not looking for 10 Hz so it was a perfect compliment to a 2 channel system that's 80% music.
