Hi, Canucks0:
As you may know, the sweet spot is small and you must sit nine feet or more away from the Ospreys. The port is in front, so you can place them close to the wall. Have you heard the rumor that Meadowlark is out of business? As a result, it's a buyer's market. In fact, lots of used Meadowlarks are being offered for sale on Audiogon. There were two pair of flagship Blue Heron II's for 2/3 off retail! I wouldn't pay full price for an Osprey now. The used Heron i and Heron Hotrods are a better speaker IMHO. But the Osprey is wonderful in its own right. All Meadowlarks are voiced for tube electronics. I don't care for them with solid state.
Good luck,
Jay
