Hello Everybody,I'm considering getting the ProAc 2.5 Speaker for my system. However, since my room size is only 12 feet x 14 feet (3.66 m x 4.27 m), I wonder if the room might be too small for the speaker? Does anyone uses ProAc 2.5 with Naim System...

... or would it be a waste of money?And b) is it worth paying more for the new version?

It used to be you could get an accessory gadget which would automatically lift up the tonearm once it had reached the end of the record. This had two advantages:-1) You could sit there and enjoy the mood created by the music you had just listened to,...
