Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently


In porevious threads I've bemoaned the fact that my Kharma 3.2 FEs don't fill the room, 17 X 23 X 15 ft ceilings with a vertical enough soundstage, as though the speakers are literally too small. I have been advised to raise them,which I have done, , I have told to get taller, line arrays, even given names of custom speaker makers. Any specic recommendations from those that have had, and have conquered, this issue.

>Anybody out there drive a Woodmere with any tube amp?<

I used to have my Woodmeres running with deHavilland Aries 845G SET's with absolutely no problem, whatsoever.

I'm now using a McIntosh MC 352 with the Woodmeres connected via the 4 ohm taps.
Swampwalker-

Yes...The MC 352 does use output autoformers.

To quote McIntosh...
"Output autoformers, a feature of many of our amplifiers, assures that you get all the power you paid for. Other amplifiers, optimized for 8-ohm speakers, have warnings not to use with many speakers that are 4 or even 2-ohm impedance. Others are optimized to work with these low impedance speakers, but deliver only a fraction of their potential power with 8-ohm speakers. Output autoformers avoid this problem, with separate connections for all three popular speaker types, insuring full power, without stress, into any speaker regardless of impedance."
Swampwalker-
As far as the Woodmeres go..If Ty says that they would work fine with an OTL amp..then you can take him at his word.

He's never steered me wrong.

BTW..if you go with Tyler..I guarantee you will not be disappointed with not only with the sound of the Woodmeres, but thier more than obvious craftmanship, too.

Just a fantastic speaker,imo
Oops...sorry...
I meant to direct my comments concerning the Woodmeres and OTL's, to Springbok10.
