Small Room - VR4jr or Gallo Ref 3.1

My room is 10.5 x 15 feet with a 7 foot opening behind my seating on the other end of the short wall. I can place the speakers 4ft from short wall and about 18" from side walls, sitting 9 ft away with the opening into another room behind me.

I also had my eyes on a Audio Physic Scorpio if I want to spend more. The VR4jr and Gallo's are the same price

I have a PASS x250 amp

Thanks for any thoughts and sugestions

You have a similar problem that I also have. i.e. being up against it in the speaker/room size limitation. All the big and better speakers go for naught in "our size rooms".
BTW, both of your candidates are excellent speakers. Spend the bucks on good ancillaries.

Bad choice for either. That close to the side walls should have a speaker with controlled directivity.

RHLJazz, A decent room/wall treatment on the offending surface would solve the near reflection issue ;~)

That would certainly help but a controlled directivity speaker would be better, or something like a Magnepan 1.6 would also work close to sidewalls and 4 ft out from the frt wall. The Pass 250 would sufficient power.

How do you feel about Maggies?

Small VMPS may be great, you will get most everything that folks love about Magnepan and easy placement.
