Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries


Application calls for a full range speaker in the 10K range that will work well in a 13 X 17 room but little ability to move the speakers out into the space due to furniture and WAF issues. (Speakers will be maximum 18" from front wall either positioned on long or short wall). Looking for a real music lover's speaker, not a hifi demonstration. Very real midrange--lively and tonally correct with taught bass (not bloated or slow), dynamic yet non-fatiguing sound. Soundstaging and imaging are secondary to accurate tonality and lack of coloration. Suggestions?

Dodgealum -- Have you asked Lou if he thinks the DA-RMa might be suitable? I would think that its more controlled dispersion, relative to that of the 1.1's, and its less extended deep bass response, and its slightly smaller physical depth might all make it more suitable to a smaller room with a smaller wall-to-speaker distance. Also, the closer proximity of the drivers to each other would reduce the listening distance that is required for them to blend properly.

OMG. It's the end of the world as we know it.
LOL! But there's still hope, if the possibility I suggested (DA-RMa's) could work out.
