One thing to consider is that Pscialli's room, while not terribly large, is incredibly solid and well dampened because of how the walls were constructed, post construction wall treatements, and dense pile carpeting. So much so that the the B&W 803s are benefitting from the careful application of the HSU subwoofer that Peter has added later. It is quite possible that the Mahlers may end up being too much of a good thing, but I heard the Beethovens and found them to be a far cry from the Mahlers. Perhaps the Strausses may be a good possibility. . . and are likely not to require the assistance of the external subwoofer.
Vienna Acoustics Mahlers too big for my room?
I'm interested in the VA Mahlers or maybe the Strausses. How are these speakers in a smallish room? My dedicated listening room is about 13' by 15' Currently, I"m using B&W N803s which are pretty significant in that space. I also want to look at Sonus Favers, but don't know the line yet.
