I have M80v2 and VP150v2 for the front, 4xQS8v2, an EP600v2 in an untreated 4200ft^3 room that is open to the rest of the house via a large stairway.

I used to sit 8 feet away from the speakers on the diagonal and now I am 15 feet away from them on the diagonal.

I used to listen 20dB below reference level to movies and music. I now find myself going to 5dB below reference.
