Small Room - VR4jr or Gallo Ref 3.1


My room is 10.5 x 15 feet with a 7 foot opening behind my seating on the other end of the short wall. I can place the speakers 4ft from short wall and about 18" from side walls, sitting 9 ft away with the opening into another room behind me.

I also had my eyes on a Audio Physic Scorpio if I want to spend more. The VR4jr and Gallo's are the same price

I have a PASS x250 amp

Thanks for any thoughts and sugestions

RHLJazz, A decent room/wall treatment on the offending surface would solve the near reflection issue ;~)
I like what I've heard, but I'm not very experienced with them. A friend had a set I heard a number of times, but it was a good number of years ago, I don't recall the model number but they were about 2' across and some 6' or 7' tall. Those were amazing. I also heard the MMGs a few times at a near by dealer, they were nice but really needed a good sub to do the whole frequency range.

If you look at my post history it's somewhat obvious I'm a Gallo fan, but as I don't have experience with the other speakers the OP was asking about I didn't feel I should make a recommendation of one over the other. My room is 10'10" x 21'6". I have my Reference 3.1s about 3' from the back wall and 2'6" from the side walls and I sit 10'6" from the speakers. So I think they could work well in his room, but don't know how they would compare to the Audio Physics, as I've never heard them.
