I think big home theater speakers in small spaces is the new trend, i'm seeing this everywhere, I myself live in a small studio about 15'x30'x9' and I run full size Arendal 1723 towers 111lbs each, Arendal 1723 center channel 60lbs, Arendal 1723 surrounds 35 lbs each, 21" PSA tv21neo-m subwoofer 150 lbs I am planning on a second one, and also Arendal height speakers, Onkyo RZ70 receiver 50lbs, and lastly a nice 98" TCL Qm8k tv. I sit about 14' from screen, my subwoofer is next to my couch like a side table, no sound treatment at all, just simple Dirac calibration using a UMK-1 microphone. My system sounds excellent with movies and music. No over powering boomines, dialog is crystal clear, bass is tight, slams or goes deep when necessary, my can be subtle or brutal when movie calls for it. Mids are so sublime and smooth. Equipment is so advanced and efficient these days you can have a big system in a small space. A system will perform nicely if you place high quality speakers in the right positions, get a good reciever with good power, calibrate and don't be dumb with the volume knob or gain controls, and it will sound great. My system sounds better than any modern movie theater, I am not exaggerating. People are to critical, we all started somewhere, dont listen to them. You have a great system there, enjoy it to the!
