    I know Martin. Mind you, I had read that the Avalon Ascendants needed room but they worked a treat in my place & at fellow AoS'er who had even less space. Are you referring to room volume, space around speaker or both?

    Both really.From what I can deduce a flat wall and protruding at least 6 feet into room. Either side of a chimney breast a distinct no no.
    I would kill for a pair (Don't tell SWMBO)

    In general I've also found that it helps not to tell the person that you're gonna kill 'em.
    If you want to save yourself a lot of hassle you ought to buy these Rienzi's. Not so expensive in every way��

    very high waf factor with the rienzi , just been looking at a pair of these for rather more on the continent

    http://www.audio-markt.de/_markt/ite...id=5835313093&

    from the review
    Like all of the other Veritys other than the Tamino, the Rienzi is a two-box affair, its upper cabinet being essentially a standalone minimonitor that’s usable without augmentation. Indeed, the Verity Parsifal Ovation, which I reviewed for SoundStage! last year, is widely used as a monitor speaker in recording studios. Separated from the monitor by an MDF platform sandwiched between Sorbothane discs, the bass module uses Verity’s signature rear-firing woofer, which, the company claims, uses a room’s front corners for additional bass reinforcement, thereby allowing their designs to produce the same bass for which other companies require larger drivers.

    That rear-firing woofer is an 8" paper cone from Scan-Speak. Firing out into the world from a ported cabinet, the woofer reaches down to a claimed 35Hz. That means it’ll reproduce any naturally generated sound other than the longest pipes of an organ, or the lowest notes of a Bösendorfer 290 Imperial concert grand. Fair enough, thought I. That covers everything I normally listen to; we should be fine.

    The Rienzi’s 3/4" soft-dome tweeter is manufactured by Scan-Speak, its midrange by SEAS. As in the Parsifal, Verity runs the Rienzi’s midrange without an upper crossover, using the driver’s own mechanical limitations to roll off the upper frequencies.

    While I expected a somewhat similar sonic experience to what I’d had with the Parsifal Ovations, I wasn’t prepared for how much alike the two speakers would sound. After the Rienzis had settled in for a few hours and lost their huffiness at being moved about, I was immediately aware of just how easy they were to listen to. As I’ve said in other reviews, how loudly and how long I can play a pair of speakers depends on their upper-midrange prominence and harshness. While I can appreciate a speaker with a more forward tonal balance, I can’t listen to one for long, or at too high a volume. There’s a big difference, I feel, between speakers that go out of their way to present detail and information, and those that, first and foremost, present music. The Rienzi, like the Parsifal Ovation, made music.

    this is a speaker you can play for hours with no fatigue , i am after the parsifals or otello longterm as they are so good but these cost a huge amount more than these bargains
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
