ELIPSA SE for a "smallish" room

[crwilli]

Esteban, This should 'wet your whistle'...

Look at the most recent posts. http://www.audioaficionado.org/audio...o-rack-24.html

I'm coming late to this party but I'll be happy to say that you won't have any issue with the size of the room. I've listened to the Elipsa in a very small room and it was great.

Small rooms are actually great as you avoid a lot of acoustical issues you can have with bigger ones (like reflections).

The Elipsa's shape is also a great plus when placing the speakers. You don't have to move them away from the walls as you would for normal ones. I find them less intrusive than other models.

The only upgrade I can imagine is moving to the Strad. Otherwise I'm blessed to own them.

Last but not least, the PrimaLuna should give plenty of power. My system is 24W ! Sonus works great with tubes also.

Thank you, Georges! This is truly re-assuring!

Do you believe this holds true for the back wall as well as side walls?

Hi Dan. Just waiting to hear back from my dealer now with an ETA. I am hoping no later than next week!

I think this is true for the back wall due to the thin shape. It is less true for side wall.

Mine are pushed on the side and back of the room due to room constraints. I found that it had minimal impact on the sound, it was actually better with the speakers far apart from each other.

Congrats Esteban on the next speaker for me, unless I decide on the G. Mementos.

I think mine are 27 inches away from back wall and 10-12 from side walls. I think I get more bass with that amount of distance from back but I am not sure what I gain or loose with my space from the side walls

I need to measure mine. I'd say that mine are farther from the back, maybe 35-40 inches.

There is maybe 5 inches from the side walls (measured from the top edge of the speaker to the wall)
