You nailed it, IME in small high reverb rooms like your sunroom work well with a small scale setup at lower volumes especially. I've had a theory for quite sometime that alot of the gear changing going on is because the rooms are being overpowered with bass and/or treble. Had some bipolar Mirages back in the day and in my first house they sounded like sh** bass and treble wise due to the plaster walls and odd bass wave action and no imaging. In the same room a pair of Kef 107s were freaky real. Not until a had a large room with breathing room did the Mirages not offend. I kind of chuckle when fellas are selling something that I know has serious potential and the pictures of the room clearly explain why.
Sometimes Less is More?
I have a 12x12 sunroom with cathedral ceiling, tile floor, and windows on three sides.
It is by far the hardest room in my house acoustically.
I find less is more in this room. Small Triangle Titus monitors that only go down to 50 some hz or so seem to do best in there. Other speakers I use in there that extend lower tend to overpower the room resulting in fat obscuring bass.
So I am of the opinion that sometimes less is more, even in high end audio.
How about you?
