Installation is the easy part. Optimizing the installation is an entirely different matter.

those speakers look sweet. Love to hear what you think about them. Please post pics once you have them setup.
Lots of speakers from many
manufactures...mostly Axiom

FedEx managed to mangle the other LFR speaker ... think they had two different accidents with it ... I think they crushed it between two objects ... as the bottom of the box gave way while the top corner caved in. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/yDBxC53N/IMG-5607-2.jpg) 2nd accident created a nice hole in the box with who knows what ... think they really had it in for this one ... I mean if you really want it dead ... shoot it twice ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RWZ7zGYw/IMG-5606-2.jpg)

Right now I'm trying to get a idea if I want to setup on the long wall or the short ... so any pics will be in an unfinished room while I play around making that decision.

Truly sad regarding the damage.
I always go long. Stage width is a wonderful thing.

That finish looks a lot like Boston Cherry though more pinkish. Be careful come winter a friend lost all his Rosewood furniture from turning up heat in winter. All dried out and started fading cracking. {Antique too}
Brutal FedEx treated them so badly especially knowing the contents. I had one order come looking similar luckily the speakers were unscathed. {think it was my M80s} The box showed up with multiple holes. Hopefully that's the only one mangled!!!
If you contact Axiom they are great regarding these kind of mishaps. {Part of the territory with Internet direct}}

It is crazy as good as Axiom packages speakers with the dense foam and they still go damaged.
