This is just a hypothetical question out of curiosity really.
I currently have the R100’s in my room, which is 11ft by 9ft, i.e. pretty small. I have the speakers about 1.5ft from the rear wall and 1ft from the side walls (one of which is a wooden wardrobe and the other a wooden chest of drawers, which I can’t imagine do much for bass precision!).
I use just the outer bung and on the whole, this produces acceptable results, unless the tracks are really bass heavy. With the port empty and no bung in, bass is too much. Similarly, with the whole bung inserted, bass is too anaemic.
Question is: -
1. would an R300 be too much for this room? Or rather, would an R300 fully bunged in exactly the same environment, create a better integrated, more balanced sound with more presence, than an R100 with only half a bung in? Or would it likely be overkill and sound stifled due to the whole bung inserted, leaving the R100 partially bunged as the better option?
2. In reference to the above, would the presence of the wooden wardrobe and chest of drawers affect the bass quality (in comparison to a solid wall)?
