Play with toe in/toe out and space between them.

If you do decide to sell them on, let me know Dowser. I would have loved to pick them up, but we're very tight on funds these days. In a couple of months I may have got things together hopefully. In the meantime, any chance of some photos?

Surely, this purchase demands a forum get together in Dowser's?

and don't forget to raise them off the floor about 17'". they were originally offered for sale with the option of sliding gradient subwoofers under them.

Thanks All - recessed thing only seems to be at low listening levels (and is only a slight issue anyhow), higher volumes are perfect. I don't think I'll be selling these, but the time has probably come to move on my Concertinos.

I'll get some photos sorted. Would be happy to host something here, but with 2 small kids I'd need to arrange carefully with the wife (ie; send them out for a weekend morning or afternoon!).

I will need to get some stands made up, preferably so I can house the mono-blocks under them too.
