Placement is somewhat critical. The Parsifals, both Encore and Ovation, like at least 4 feet of space from the back wall to maximize LF output. In my largely untreated room the Parsifals read to 25Hz and are not at all boomy, even with a new amp. FWIW, mine are currently 90" apart with no toe-in; seating is nearly 8' from axis.
Parsifal Encore Bass/Low midrange
Greetings,
Recently heard the above at a local dealer. They admitted they had standing wave problems in their room. Even so, I heard significant booming in the upper bass, very poorly controlled (on Krell, no less!). This definitely extended into the lower midrange, and I was very sad to hear poor sound in what I hoped would be a transcendent experience.
Also, in my listening situation, I would need to have the bass units facing forward. Any owners have experiences of reversing Verity's rec'd orientation?
Thanks,
Rick
