[QUOTE="RRankin, post: 1150423, member: 23526"] My recommendation to you is to go for bookshelf plus subwoofer, however not based on your room size but rather the length to width ratios of the room. Your room is very nearly square, which provides significant challenges in getting the main speakers setup in terms of a good linear bass response (either boomy bass at your listening position or a suck-out due to cancellations). Having a sub (preferably two but one is a good start) gives more flexibility in terms of location. For instance, often a sub works well tucked into a corner in square room, improving bass response at listening position (experimentation will be key here), whereas main speakers tucked into a corner is never a solution. Your main speakers can then be positioned for the way you like your sound staging, with bass response less of an issue (often the best imaging is achieved at the expense of bass response). My experience is that in small rooms, a down firing sub is often the best. Not sure why. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
