will monitors work in a large room?


Hey now...
i've got a 17'w x 24'deep living room and i'm in the market for new speakers.
I'm pretty much sold on the VR2's, but wondering if the VR1's w/a sub would "fill" the room sufficiantly? I have read that they throw a big soundstage. coming from Martin Logans...I think I'll like that.

still sold on the VR2's though....unless I recieve compelling reasons why I shouldn't go there.
I'd love to spend less, of course.

Can not comment on the VR2's, but as far as monitors in a large room, I am using Tyler Acoustics Linnbrook's powered by a Conrad Johnson CAV-50 (45 wpc tube integrated) and if I turn up the volume past around the 10:00 setting I get the "peel wallpaper" look from my wife.
Phasecorrect, would the Europas benefit by addition of a sub-woofer in this size room, and is there a consensus regarding choice of such a sub-woofer?
Nick, I would be very interested in your thoughts on the Vr2's - did you listen to other speakers?
Email me or please post here.
Thanks
listener...most speakers would benefit from a sub...even full range ones...albeit a musical sub set up properly...no sub also beats a cheap sub in my opinion...
I have just traded a pair of Europas with the intent
to buy some C-3's.
But I have a pair of VR 2's coming tomorrow or Tuesday
so I will have a direct comparison between the two.
I love the Europas and may buy another pair.
And the Europas were plenty for my 20x20x12 room.

But we will see what the VR 2's can do.
