A very lively room to say the least. I was about to pull the trigger on an MBL system consisting of the 116 speakers, N31 DAC and N51 Intergrated amp. Just not sure if an omni will work that great in a room like this so leaning again towards a Wilson, which was my top choice when I first starting researching a year or so ago. I would sincerely appreciate your thoughts on whether you think the Wilson DAWs would work in my room? Will they be too big and overpowering? I have gotten answers all over the board from monitors to the DAWs but not from anyone with actual real world experience. I listen mainly to classic rock with some other genres sprinkled in on occasion, depending on the mood. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts. Much appreciated!

Thank you for your interest in Wilson speakers. I have set up somewhere between 30 and 40 pairs of Sasha DAWs in all kinds of rooms. On the surface of it,
properly positioned DAWs should work in a room of that size. It would be useful to see pics of the room so I could be more specific about what to expect. Your surfaces certainly present some challenges but that would be true for any good loudspeaker.
FYI, other than an open side wall, my room with DAWs is 13'1" x 14' x 9'. From a pressurization standpoint it "plays" larger than that because of the open side. It includes a 6' x 6' window on the side wall and a single wide door with a 21" x 62" window in it to the outside behind the right speaker. Both windows have wood slat horizontal blinds. My listening distance is 8'.
