My room is 15 x 22 x 9. C4’s are on short wall, out 36” from front wall and in 33” from side walls when measured from center of grilles. They are toed in to cross axis’s about two feet in front of me. I sit about two-thirds into the room from the front wall.
I don’t hear much in the way of depth but left to right imaging is pretty good. Not pinpoint but not bad.
Frequency response is stellar. Very smooth and only getting a bit rough in the bottom couple of octaves. This was smoothed out and firmed up with the addition of a couple of decent old Velodyne subs.
As I stated in a previous post, I have had the feeling these speakers may be too revealing of less than superior recordings. Well, after giving up on my idea of raising the front of the speakers, Heresy style, the over-revealing glare has largely dissipated. I think my fairly extreme toe-in also helps.
I do miss the airiness and three dimensionally you can get with some other speakers but I do love the slam and the clarity (with good recordings). Ultra low distortion is nice too. No fuzzies and no grit.
Really my main issues are these: price, footprint, height and rather unforgiving nature. But if you can live with the downside, the upside is huge.
