How flexible is room placement?They like power. They're 4 Ohm. I'm driving them with 160w per channel at 4 Ohm.
That being said i've heard of folks driving with with far less (and far more) and having good results.
As far as placement they like to be about 3 feet from the wall behind them and toed in toward your listening position.

The new set are in a newly renovated room in the attic. It become the master bedroom with a sitting corner. I wanted to place the new set in the living room but did not have the space for the speakers :-)

Last night we sat in bed while I was listening to Italian scores and my girl was on her phone messaging. It was lovely.
Because I am not on any other social media than this place I do love to post pictures of this stuff. I feel very fortunate to be able to live where I live with this magnificent stuff. It wouldn't be possible without my girl. (=show off disclaimer)

When I choose Insert image and write the imgur URL in between it doesn't seem to work.Hey Chandler, you need to add the letter "l" (for a large image) or "m" (for a medium sized image) at the end (so before ".jpg" if that is part of the image link).

@bez -
*thumbs up* :)
Speaking of our better halves... had an interesting 'eureka' moment with mine the other day. I was playing Goldsmith's 'The Swarm' ost while she was still in bed, and she sat up and, all excited, asked 'what's this?? it's amazing!' I spent the next hour or so spinning her more Goldsmith, to her delight. (Which somehow, after evolving into chat about 80s film music, lead us to listen to James Horner's 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' score on Youtube which was her fave film as a kid, wherein she called it out for ripping off Raymond Scott's 'Rollercoaster', and I noticed how much it stole from Elfman's 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure'!! Thats s a thing, right? Everyone is onto that yeah?)
All in all, with the world going straight to fucking shit around us all...not a bad morning.
