Hi to all from Ancient !
I'm new here, so be compassionate.
Question(s): the heart of my system are older Mac items - C34v Preamp and MC7270
Amp. I'm moving out of an early set of Matin/Logan Ascents to . . . (?). So, my question
comes in two parts. 1. my room is 24 x 24 ft., 8 ft.ceiling. Due to room design constraints
M/L speakers must be close to rear wall. Should I simply abandon my desire to acquire a nice pair of SummitX's and go to cones? If so, I'll need something sufficient to fill a large
room (B&W 800, or ?). 2. My Mac items were "spec-d" 7 years ago. Should I expect a high order sound path from this rather ancient equipment? I also own a spec-d Conrad-Johnson
MF-2250. Would I gain anything by substituting the C/J for the MC-7270, yes or no?

Thanks for any assistance here, folks!

Let me take a stab at answering your question. First, you say "close to the front wall". What would be the approximate distance from the back of the speaker to the wall?

We can deal with the electronics question after we determine the speakers.
 
Hi, more importantly, what is the floor, is it floating? carpeted? .. the walls? brick/timber/tiled/drapes?... treated?..., ceiling, acoustic tiles etc?...everything counts. You put a pair of Summit X's firing into a timber floating floor & those down firing woofers are very hard to restrain but concrete with carpet is a totally different sound. It's not a 5 min fix but can be made a lot easier with the right forethought...

Would granite slabs under the speakers with a free floating floor help??
 
Whats the concrete covered with. If you are going to fire a sub into concrete you are going to hear sand & stones...
