The s300's in your room Rich are just plain over kill not to say that know doubt they perform well and sound good!! But it's a little like using a Porsche turbo around a kart track? Yes it will perform well but no where near its potential.
Advising someone to do the same just because they can afford it imho! Is just plan wrong when a lower price point mk system would do the job just as good! A certain size room can only take a certain amount of spl level! But you can increase the rooms headroom by adding acoustic treatment as even room eq can not do this as yet.
My mk 850 LR are 9' apart and I sit 10' away in the mlp , there a foot from the side walls and I have four corner wide band bass traps with no first / second reflections really addressed? When playing music films as certain high levels , you can start to hear the room reflections making the sound more of a wall of sound rather than what each speaker should sound directly .
The s300's are obviously a good performer there is no doubt about that but I would had preferred to use the mk s150 mk2 on wall versions would have been my first choice in that room or possibly the 950thx's would have done an equally v-good job too imho
Well that just shows how little you know sir. What a silly comment. Please explain because I'm bamboozled????
