A big "thank you" to everyone who's been following this thread-- you've given me a lot to think about!! For the next few weeks it's going to be tuning this room and keeping up on my chops on my wife's clavinova in the living room-- no mixing!!!

Sooo... I finally got the K&H O110s out of custom's clutches today.

Wowowow. I played some Sumi Jo, the Waterboys' "Fisherman's Blues", and some other acoustic stuff. Those speakers have been reviewed elsewhere so I won't do it again here but I am positively spanked.

Then I played some trance and was less than impressed-- all of the bass information really muddies up the middle, much as was happening with my Rokits. Let's blame the room, not the speakers. I'm going to fix the bass end with about 6 more 2x4 traps, but as I mentioned in my first post, I never expected the very diminutive K&Hs to be up to working on dance music by themselves.

I do, however, have a Tannoy sub with a crossover lurking unused in my parents' basement back home.....

I think you would be better off to avoid a sub in a room that size...

Second opinions on that one? Even if the room is bass-trapped to the bejeezus? (As it soon will be.)
