I have spent the last 5 hours setting up and listening to these speakers. They are part of a home theatre system but I've just concentrated on the Stereo aspeact of the speakers. I have them hooked to a Klipsch 10 inch sub crossing over at 60hz. They are slightly toe in (Made a big difference) and are quidistant from the listening position and each other. In my room I had to raise the level of the right speaker two db above the left. Enough about the setup. The sound is incredible. These are the first speakers I ever had that I can play loud and not find fatiguing. I am a big Steely Dan fan and have played their CD's over and over, but with these speakers I heard stuff I never heard before. The room is filled with music. I have no need or desire to play five channel stereo. Thanks to all of you who have reviewed this speaker and this company so highly. It was because of you that I decided to give the speakers a try.
