Sweet Spot for Triangle Speakers

Has anyone had any experience with the new Triangle Zerius Speakers? I have a pair hooked up to an Outlaw Receiver and the "Sweet Spot" is very small. With my old system I could sit almost anywhere in the room and the illusion was intact. With the Zerius if your not in the middle/spot you hear the speakers. In the reviews the Triangle speakers have been often compared to electrostatic speakers...and one thing I have always heard about electrostatic speakers is the problems with their placement. Is there a way to place the speakers such that it minimizes this effect or will this get better as the speakers continue to break in? Thanks for your time and input.

I have the Triangle Antals and had a similar problem until I did the following:

1. Since the Antals are used for music and home theater they have a 65" Rear Projection TV between them. I inferred by the fact that you have these hooked up to a home theater receiver that you may have a TV between them. If possible, move them out so the front of the speaker is in front of your TV or cabinet (still on the sides but further out). This will help image focus.

2. Play with toe-in. Toeing them in will focus the image, firing straight ahead will widen the soundstage. I find my Antals sound best fired straight ahead with no toe-in.

3. Try different cables. This made a huge difference. I switched from Kimber 4TC to Mapleshade Golden Helix and it made a huge difference.

4. Use a room tuning device. I use Echobusters behind each speaker. There are also a bunch of DIY recipes (check www.audioasylum.com) for similar

As mentioned I use the Antals for 2 channel as well as home theater. I'm using a Rotel 1066 processor and 985 Amp (5 channel)with MIT interconnects and Mapleshade speaker cables. These brands go very well with Triangle gear (I've tried everything). Good luck.
