Hi, I have had the Aerius & now have the 645's.The 645's are very easy to place. You have read all the reviews, they are right on. The biggest difference is that the imaging is much better defined with the 645's due to the monopole design.I don't have a real small room (14x22)& they just fill the whole room wall to wall with sound.You could get by with the smaller 630's most likely in your smaller room for $1500 a pair. I know it's hard to buy something sight unseen & more important unheard but these are exceptional.Absolutely no fatigue listening to these even with solid state. Try a pair, money-back for 30 days if not satisfied. Happy listening, Rich
Opinions on Newform Research speakers
I currently own M.L. ReQuests but am getting too much "room interaction" (room too small). I have read great comments on the R645, and because the ribbon IS NOT dipolar, was thinking these might interact less in my room? Anyone currently own the Newforms that were prior Logan or Maggie owners? Do they (Newforms) really sound as great as review (AudioReview.com) suggest? Do they match the magical midrange of the ReQuest? Thanks for any advice/comments!
