I am wondering about this too, I have high ceiling (at least higher than most houses I have seen). The higher the ceiling the better, right? Wouldn't false ceiling lower it, unless you mean adding absorbing material on the false ceiling, which would work I guess but would be expensive and a bother on a family situation.
I saw the comparison chart above with Elac DBR62. At half the price these seems like a very good deal. If anyone has listen to both of them, what was your impressions?
Ive listened to the 12.2 and the DBR62 in the same room and setup but not on the same day. FWIW, I decided to go for the 12.2s because it sounded smoother and less fatiguing, somewhat a meatier sound yet sounded more balanced. Bass on the 12.2 was also more to my liking, it had the kind of bass you could feel but not really hear, its doesnt intrude and only presents itself when there is actual bass on the track. But when it does, youll be find yourself searching for a hidden 'midwoofer' in the room. The only thing I feel the DBR62 has over the 12.2 is clarity, but not by much. Oh, and the 12.2 disappears more easily too. Subjective, but many would agree if they have heard both. I also had the chance to listen to the 12.1 and 12.2 side by side, even the 12.0. The Wharfedale distributor here has all the Diamonds lined up, along with the all the Evos and Elysians. No comparison, the 12.2 takes it by a mile, in the diamond standmount series of course. For 100 bucks more, its definitely worth it. Wharfedale seems to be pushing the 12.1 though...
