Hey, My room was larger than that and well trapped/treated, and I still had a feeling they were a bit too big for it. I probably could have gone with something smaller and quieter with a higher cutoff, as I still ended up going into the larger tracking room for low reference on a bigger system anyway. On the plus side, there's an assortment of switch settings, and I did ultimately get a pretty accurate ref off them after some repositioning (after hating them for about a year or two the other way  ).I guess it's "to each his own" though on monitors, and there's a bunch more stuff out there now in that range. Good luck on it! George |

A lot of people bash them here. I have a pair and I'm quite happy with them. They're very flat and true.

I love mine. My mixing space is 11x14, treated. It's important to check your bass levels in a mix at low volume, otherwise a small room will start telling you lies in the low end. I'm getting very good to excellent translation to various consumer level systems.

Check out the JBL LSR series as well. They might help with your room and the low end extension on them had me trying to find the sub.
