Jerome... I very much appreciate anything anyone has to say, anytime...
I throw in a lot of info, hoping to get feedback like this. I read several other threads and was surprised how much mismatching the speakers to the room could hurt performance. In the "house curve" sticky I saw the steep curve described for a small room, and I am concerned I might have messed up, and bought equipment that will make matters worse for me.
I mentioned it to DrWho because he might tell me my testing is invalid, due to environmental limitations.
My habit is always to "up"grade, when in doubt... so I bought the best I could afford... at the highest price I could afford. It did not occur to me that the higher cost was due to increased capacity, in relation to room volume. I sure hope my speaker choice does not go from "my bad" to "my stupid".
I am a little relieved that you don't think I have necessarily overdone it. Speaker efficiency is 91db, but I hope that driving the bad boys is not to much for my room. I have always thought more was better, because it was less work for the equipment... and now I find out this is only true to a point.
Oh well... will live and learn. Just have to wait until Feb to do tests to find out.
Thanks... Hermit
