Do you use the claws with the ball bearings or without ? I have not been using the bearings...to easy to tip the speakers over..
Thanks everyone ! Well, I guess that my best bet would be a SimAudio I5. I am actually using a Pathos Classic One at the present and I am reasonably happy except for soundstage...not very good at all....maybe an I5 would help. If you have any suggestions on what could help soundstage, please let me know.
I have tried moving the speakers about with little change. My source is mostly an MF XRayV3. I have tried Cardas Cross, Nordost Blue heaven and Totem tress cables.
I am using the claws on hardwood floor. There is no carpet in the room. I have one speakers that is closer to a wall (approx 2 feet) than the other due to furniture arrangement. The one speaker that is closer to the wall is on the shorter wall.
How good are the Hawks supposed to be when it comes to soundstage...that I don't know neither..
I have the Pathos MK II. I guess I better try a carpet and move the one speaker away from the wall before trying out other amps or possibly other speakers (was thinking of the Proac D25 possibly). Actually, other than the soundstage issue I really like the sound of my system. Thanks for your suggestions...you guys on Audiogon are so helpful !
OK guys, I will take your advise and give it a try...that is if my uneven floor makes it possible to use the bearings.
