Why not horns?

Mapman - at the risk of being slightly off topic, I can say from experience that Khorns can work in a smaller room. My space is 13 x 13 and while I suspect my imaging would be a little more focused with more space, I'm very happy with the sound. I have modified them a bit - Crites tweeters and crossovers and Trachorns. I'm running a primarlly analog system with low powered (but really nice )amps - and at least for me, the result is such that I'm not inclined to change anything.

The speakers extend along the walls about 22' or so. However, due to the 'home plate' shape the part not touching the walls comes out aout 32 1/2". As I understand it, it is preferable to have a wall extend beyond the actual point of contact. With that said, I have one such wall, but the other is interrupted by a window a foot or two from the 22' extension. In the course of fiddling with my system, I have switched output sides a few times; haven't noticed any difference between the two sides. Just one comment re: the Lascalas. I liked the sound, but the stock Khorns have far superior bass.

The Khorns need to fit snugly into the corners and against the walls on both sides. Their performance will suffer if this is not the case. False corners are used by many, however the height of the windows could be a factor aesthetically - not to mentiuon the WAF...
