I heard the Scansonics a few times and I'm very impressed with the sound for the money (after they are *broken in). I just don't know how to describe the sound characteristics. Ideally you want them about 9ft apart - a couple of ft from the back wall and sit back about 9 ft from them.
*IMO they need about 100hrs break in. They sound like one note bass out of the box. They do get a lot better. And NO they do not sound like Raidho's. The tweeter is very close but that's it.
