I went back to 5000s in there, great design imho...

I can't believe how dated that room looks now!

This is the room now, and the 5200s just didn't look right in there at all, couldn't get them to sound right either.

I think speaker design is very room dependant, some designs simply work better in different rooms.
I think my Harbeths work really well in that room, they look like a vintage design, because they are a vintage design.

This was my Quads, which although similar to the DSP5200s, being roughly the same height, piano black etc. they just didn't look as good in there.
