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?

I don't think less is more - a speaker that is a good match for the room is more. It's difficult to find and not always the one you think it will be. Especially in difficult rooms. I'm glad you were able to find a good match.
Agree Mapman, but on a slightly different level. I have a fairly large room 17 deep X 35 wide. I had towers which went well down into the high 20's. Sounded good. But now I have Cain & Cain Abby's. Sound great.
Sometimes less is more, more or less. We also find that the little system at the lake, ( Jadis front end Red Rose speakers ) can have something special. It is give and take, the smaller system has a certain magic, the big rig has impact and detail. Which do we prefer, usually the one we are listening to.
I think this quite obvious, after all one can't fit 5 Lbs. of sugar in a 1 Lbs. sack.
"one can't fit 5 Lbs. of sugar in a 1 Lbs. sack"

Hard to argue with that one.....
