Congrats ariess! When I heard these I was really impressed...

How big is your listening room and what distance are you seated from the speakers?

Default Calling all 800D3 Owners!

16.5x19.5 ft with high, high, A-frame ceiling, so volume is high. Also back wall is glass to the outside so little room modes. Speakers are 2 feet off the short wall and I am 9-10 feet from speakers

Oh yes, I believe we have had this conversation.

Finally, a story where the 800d3 doesn’t overwhelm the space.

Hi ariess, congrats on the new speakers. Great choice! Are they placed on the carpet with spikes piercing through the carpet?
