Maybe that is 10 meters squared which I think converts to ~110 sq feet? So say a 11x10 room in feet which the A5 would should be enough depending on what you are trying to achieve and if it opens to other spaces. Or I could completly wrong....AVR: Elite VSX-21TXH

The RTiA5's would be fine.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

Dont you think that the RTI-A5 will be a to big to the space 3mx3m?
My friends in Brazil said that is better the rti-a1.
Thank you so much again! -

So the room is about 16.5 x 16.5 and you'll be dedicating about 10x10. So I still think the A5's will do the job. If you want to go with the A1's instead, that should be okay also.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

Perfect!!
The only doubt is if my preference is to listen music instead watch movies, the most advisable is the floorstanding and the subwoofer or the bookshelf and the subwoofer? -

If you like the RTiA's and want them for music, maybe consider the A7 and no sub. I use my A9's without a sub and music is great.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

Welcome, where are you from? A lot of home theater and audio in general is aesthetics...how stuff looks. The lenticular form of the RTI series speakers is easy on the eyes and can become a focal point of the room. I think the 5's will look very nice and sound fantastic. I have the little guys: RTI-a1's, RTI-A3 and the big boys, RTI-A9's. The 1's and 3's are beautiful but can get lost visually and they lack the double driver of the 5's which should mellow the sound as you have a driver for the lows and a driver for the mids. I find that any speaker box will benefit from more drivers tuned to specific frequencies rather than one driver doing all of the work. I have not heard the A5's but I suspect it will offer better mids and certainly deeper lows. Best of luck and keep asking questions.Main Family Room: Sony 46 LCD, Sony Blue Ray, Sony DVD/VCR combo,Onkyo TXNR 708, Parasound 5250,

for Leandrouduque: You mention "your friends in Brazil"...if you are from Brazil you may that one of the world's largest producer of speakers is located in brazil. I believe it is the second largest supplier of oem speakers to the US speaker industry and I have 2 of the 12" replacement speakers in my old JBL 4411's. The name of the company is Selenium and very well thought of...but buy Polk RTI speakers.
For Geoff4rfc: Your A9's probably sound so good because of your monoprice cables.:eek: I'm using mine for 2 channel also and am attempting to wire in a little REL sub...no results yet.Main Family Room: Sony 46 LCD, Sony Blue Ray, Sony DVD/VCR combo,Onkyo TXNR 708, Parasound 5250,

Yes, veddy funny! Make a special won ton soup for him :cheesygrin:I'm using mine for 2 channel also and am attempting to wire in a little REL sub...no results yet.
A guy I work with has an REL and loves it. I've yet to hear it. One of these days, we plan to check out each others systems, conflicting schedules can be a pain. He's got Martin Logan speakers in his set up, looking forward to hearing it.
To the OP, Michael has a good suggestion about the A5's, perhaps those and a sub?Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2
