B and W: CM10 S2 vs 805 D3 with a sub
Hey Defjam, I know this thread is old and not sure if you still visit Audiogon forums. But I came across this discussion started by you and was wondering what floor standers did you go with in the end (which give you good bass without sub)? overal...

Thanks Milpai. Come to think of it, you are right... the speakers in the dealer’s room did have a lot of breathing room back and sides.. i would say over 4 feet back and sides. The room itself would have been at least 20 feet by 20 feet. My listen...
