will monitors work in a large room?


Hey now...
i've got a 17'w x 24'deep living room and i'm in the market for new speakers.
I'm pretty much sold on the VR2's, but wondering if the VR1's w/a sub would "fill" the room sufficiantly? I have read that they throw a big soundstage. coming from Martin Logans...I think I'll like that.

still sold on the VR2's though....unless I recieve compelling reasons why I shouldn't go there.
I'd love to spend less, of course.

Yes, monitors can work in a large room providing they have sufficient bass response. Penaudio nicely addressed this issue by adding a passive woofer system that mates with all their monitors. So, you can have the benefit and sound of an amazing reference monitor and the impact of a floor stander with the same footprint by adding their Chara bass units. www.portalaudio.com or www.penaudio.fi. They will be back at CES in room 2055.
