What a timely question for me as I am selling my MAXX to downsize to a monitor with an eventual subwoofer. My present room is 15.6W X 10.2H X 18.4L. The MAXX have a big sound, but I felt my bass response was never as good as my former room that was easily 6-8 ft longer and a foot wider. The longer room allowed the MAXX to show its great bass. I find the sound in my present room to be excellent left to right, but lacking any real depth in soundstage. In nutshell, the size of the MAXX limited its ability to image as before. Maybe the newer MAXX two would do better, but I am not willing to spend the $6K to find out. I bought a pair of Caravelle's that in comparison to the MAXX in my room were simply amazing...equaled the MAXX midrange, outperformed its tweeter and only lacked in the bass without a sub. With a mediocre sub, the sound was very satisfying and in many ways better. Not to say the MAXX isn't a good speaker, it just couldn't perform in my room. Why not take money off the table and still have great sound?
I hope that helps. By the way, I drove the MAXX with Krell 750's a KCT and KPS-28C CDP until I switched out to a tube system.
