I know wsalm...oddly there is another 5 feet from my listening position to the back wall as well. Odd set up, but have to live with for the time being.
Can someone post what their listening exp has been in a bit more detail other than they are exceptional? How do they compare to others, perhaps more well known speakers? How about comparing to say Kharma 3.2? Or any others? Can someone give us a sense what they are like in character?
Just read the TAS review....is it me or did the review stike strike you as very odd as well? TAS's philosophy has paid little relevance to measurements yet the reviwer not only introduces it which was out of character enough but introduces some new type of measurements developed by someone external from the magazine and then does not provide any comparisons so there is no frame of reference to make it really useful. If you are going to do it, at least be consistent like Stereophile. Sloppy work IMO. This has nothing to do with the speaker itself.
Boa2 understand where u are coming from as well as Alon...the even bigger issue for me is that I am in HK so looks like no way for me to investigate. Too bad as they sound very interesting.
Its been awhile: I've posted a few comments on my first audition of them in my own system thread. Unfamiliar room and other equip as it was at a dealer but fantastic indeed. Sound stage, accuracy, smoothness, dyanmics both maco and micro and surprising bass. Alas the HK dealer won't allow me to audtion at home with my own gear...so requested them to chg the amps so I can try agn tmrw: this time instead of Spectral, they will hook it up with Audio Research gear.
I have auditioned them twice, at the dealership. Both times, I was very impressed indeed. However, my listening room dimensions requires close to but not quite nearfield listening, and when I experimented by moving the chair to an equivalent distance, the Minis continued to be brilliant yet the axis was a bit high for me.
the distance is approx 5.5 feet only but its not so much too near or hot sounding its the height: a bit too tall with their stands for my room length AND couch (the latter which will not chg WAF etc).
