Vienna Acoustics Bach in small room?


I have a dedicated 2-channel room that's 11x11.

would the Bach's provide enough bass since it's a small room?

Kray,

I have to agree with Lpgal. I own a set of Bach's and they indeed have to be pulled out far into the room. The speakers are very placement sensitive. I have mine about 18inches to 22 inches away from the wall. I'll check again tonight.

Placement of the Bachs are very counter-intuitive. Bass seems to get better as you get further away from the back wall. It's not just a little bit either- the difference is huge. I've also noticed that they benefit from just having the speakers pointing forward, toe-in is ok, but you lose some bass if the Bach's are tilted up.

But I thin with some patience with set-up they can be made to sound great even in a small room.
I think if you could get the Bachs 23inches away from the wall, they would be fine. I think they sound pretty good nice and up close. They are indeed smooth and full sounding. As long as the rest of the system is smooth and full bodied the Bachs will follow suit.
Let me know how it goes. The bachs have been about the same price used for a couple years now. So I doubt you'd loose any money.

good luck!
