The Positive Feedback review of the Ulysses, I think it was, said the reviewer was suprised how well such a large speaker operated in a small room. To me the problem is more, how such a large speaker as the Ulysses, would dominate a small room, physically. The Da-R Ma monitors fit really well into my 20 by 20ft room. That sounds big, but it is full of wardrobes, chairs etc. The Monitors are really quite unobtrusive, partly because they are quite low.
