Podium 0.5 Speakers .Would like to hear from other owners.
Hi, I use to own a pair of these panel speakers and enjoyed them immensely. Try changing the angle to make them more upright as they lay back too much and you will get a much better response and sound stage. Also if the support rods are not a good...
