>>My seating location is is about eleven feet from the speakers. About eight feet back in the old room.

Make sense then. You would need about twice the sound energy to play at the same volume you get in the smaller room (121 / 64). Remarkably, an M50 with two woofers generates about twice the sound of an M3

>>Now if I can just find that "Moose Head For the Fireplace" acoustic enhancer...

Don't forget to put a toque on the moose head. You need all the absorbtion you can get.

I'm amazed that with all these new "cultured stone" products on the market nobody makes a manufactured stone with good acoustic properties.
