prof Finding the sweet spot seems elusive even for an experienced listener like you. I have experienced that listening to one genre of music things can sound spot on, then when listening to another like classical they aren't as focused. Being kind of slow and lazy it took me over a month before I moved the speakers toe-in 1/4" more in and seemed to have found the spot. My speakers are now aimed about 16" from each ear. I use classical because it is recorded with 2 microphones, mimicking sitting in the best position during a live concert . . I see that toe-in is a large part of speaker conversation , no right answer because I think that different music and music that has been recorded at different times and analog vs. digital recording means that there will always be compromise in finding the sweet spot. but knowing that 1/4" movement can make a large difference makes experimenting easy and free and rewarding. I agree with you about the looks of the 2.7s ,they are gorgeous the 3.7s kinda look like a skinny r2d2. Warren ans any other Rush fan out there I went to my local record store The House of Records ( it actually was a house ) looking for a 2112 album and or Gold cd and found Feedback, Wow fantastic covers by them from 2004, they didn't have the others . Friday and it's raining, good listening weather. Rob |
