Thanks for all the responses. I do plan on listening and finding what works best in my situation. It was the exact debate I'm seeing here that caused me to ask the question.
why go against REL setup recommendation?
My new REL storm III will be here next week. I've been following the posting on this sub for quite some time. I'm curious as to why the general consensus is to ignore REL and Sumiko's recommendation regarding corner speaker placement and the non use of spikes. Is it possible in all their infinite wisdom they don't know what they are talking about.
