Are these ones suitable for a small room (130ft&sup2; i.e. 12m&sup2;)... or should I buy the 305 model? Thanx...

The 305 version may work but you will eventually want a subwoofer. The 308 version pushes enough bass to eliminate the need for a subwoofer. The 308s are excellent speakers and cheaper if you consider a pair of 305s and a JBL subwoofer. I have both setups and I prefer the 308s. I hope this helps

That's a tough call with the supplied information. If the room is going to be used for a single purpose...how much light and would you be supplying the air from outside to the room than outside? Ultimately get as much fan as you can afford (think long term) and a GOOD speed controller. You can always turn it down but you can only go so fast. My fan came as a 440cfm. Don't forget ducting and band straps. I hope this helps

the model I have is barely sufficient for a small room maybe 14 feet by 8 feet so i would recommend a more powerful unit unless space is very small.

These are specifically made for high end home theatre in the compact category and I am very happy with them. I have three mounted on the wall with my tv as a pair of fronts and centre channel. But you will also need a sub (Dynamo 700) and a different pair of rears (motion2s). Once set up and broken in, it sounds amazing!!!

It really depends on the receiver you're using. If you're pushing over 100 watts per channel then go with the 20's, if not go with the 10's. I have not heard the 20's but can't imagine they aren't up to par. I went with the 10's and really like the wide profile on the wall.

To be honnest they are really really shorts... I've a dual monitor with 1 27" and 1 21". One speaker on extreme left and the other one on extreme right. The sub is under my desk.Cords were not long enought and are proprietary plugs. It looks like PS/2 cable but the sound was awfull with a simple PS/2 cable. I finally cuted the cable of the left speaker and I added some lenght with an alarm cable like this one http://www.china-cablewires.com/images/products/2012031913334607979324w1000h1000uzjaomei/fire-alarm-cables-shielded.jpgBut dont forget that you'll void warranty doing that.And another point, the sound is good BUT there's a constant background noise, so I'm not really happy with that...

Yes. As indicated by others, your ipads, PCs, MACs are only good for 100' - 250' max on their own. As these Engenius units are pretty inexpensive, I'd buy the 2 from the beginning and, hopefully, save yourself some aggravation.

I have two of the VE-12's in a room that is 18' x 26' and they are very loud. My entire house shakes from them actually. Its not so much the size of the speaker as much as it is power. My amp is 250 rms per channel. The 15" model will merely give you slightly lower bass response. 12's are the perfect balance in my opinion, I had 15's in the room previously and these give much better all around sound.

I have small in wall speakers in my house. They sound great, but I also Have a zone2 with old yamaha floor speakers that sound equaly good. Get the best you can afford. I also have an Epik 2x15 empire sub. Best purchase in my life. expensive but well worth it.

It's a great product I use it in a 500sqft room and it works well. If you have multiple rooms I think you would need additional units.

Mine are set up in a room 15x20 and they do fine. Of course, this is a subjective area based on preference. I suggest you can always add more speakers if you're not satisfied. I did add a second sub because I love the vibrations when watching a movie.

I am quite certain that a small room could handle the speakers. They perform well at low volume for my stereo speakers on my entertainment system. I am using them like bookshelf speakers. You certainly could use smaller speakers in a room that size.

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

I have the 8040 in a 14 x 20 and have been extremely happy with them. I had to dial down the sub because of downstairs neighbors. But I think the intent of having front and back-firing drivers was to increase the soundstage anyway. 8040s are plenty big for an 11 x 13 area.

It would not be wider. Bigger is better but 8040 would probably be enough for that small of a room. Just don't Expect booming base.

The rage on these is great. (and is listed as being double the others on the market - I'd believe it.) I can be in the backyard or garage and hear fine. One story house about 2000sq ft. My parents had the same one in a slightly larger 2 story house. No problem.

So the room is 17' deep ? My room is 24x16 with the TV on the 16' wall. Right now I have a 5.2 with motion 2 and it sounds great. I'm probably going to add 2 motion 4 to the back unless I can get a good deal on the motion 2. How far apart will your speakers be ? If they will be 27' apart then you would need something bigger but I would guess they are closer than that.
