RE: Yes, you can - but I suggest it would be a big step up in SQ with active bi-amping. nt

Sometimes in a room of that size and geometry, you can get most of the benefits of the 1Ds fabulous bass and get a bit more spacious sound if you fold in the outer bass panel so that it is (generally) at 90 degrees to you. The folded panel acts as a sort of bass baffle and now the speaker's foot print is a bit more manageable.

I'd almost certainly try the room at a 45 degree angle as well.

I owned every Tympani 1 model, as they came out. The Ds - IMO - were heads and shoulders above the first three.

I wouldn't think of bi-amping or anything until I had them singing as best they can. Give yourself a month or two to really understand them. Then you will appreciate tweaks that you do try.

In a smaller room, I'd go for the best sounding amp, not the most powerful. Because when you bi-amp, you'll need another one just like it. Personally I'd prefer one great amp than two lesser ones.

YMMV.

Best regards,

Jim Smith
