| Bookshelf Speakers for Large Room This would be my choice in the placement situation you describe as it is a front slot loaded transmission line design which would be more tolerant. Plus it sounds great and at $2500 lets you update your subs and still keep a bundle in your bank ac... | |

| Fitz Carrera BE @b_limo Congrats on your new purchase. Listening to mine now. | |
