Devore 0/96 and Room Size


I've really enjoyed the 0/96 every time I've heard them and there are a couple of used pairs for sale now. My biggest concern is that my room is 15 feet deep. I believe at least 8 feet is recommended so that the drivers blend and I don't want them closer than 3 or 4 feet from the wall behind, which only leaves 2 or 3 feet behind the listening chair. Would love to hear from owners about their experiences. Thanks.

What's your overall room size?  You mention 15' deep, but I don't think I see the length or height. 

 

I am building a new home and did call John regarding the 96s in a room 14 wide x 16 feet long with 10 foot ceilings. He said the 96s would be wonderful in this room. My room is very close to yours it seems   

I love my current Fyne F704 speakers, but not sure they are the best fit for this new room. They are huge! The 96s intrigue me. Finally decided I will try my 704s in the new room first as they may sound great with room treatments.

 

 

The room is 15 x 19.5, and the ceiling slopes from 7.5 to 9.5 ft. My intention is to place the speakers along the 19.5 wall at the 7.5 end.

I see. The room is plenty big for sure. Placing the speakers on the shorter 15 foot wall would be best, but it seems the ceiling slope direction is the real issue.
