I use to have floodstanders or 8" woofer.
Congrats on your beautiful system.

Hi Manu,
Actually, the P3ESRs may image even better than the 30.2s because they are smaller. It is a generally-accepted theory that the best imaging speakers are those that are closest in size to a "point source", so in general, excellent imaging is generally a strong-point of smaller standmount speakers.
Supplement the lower octaves with a sub, and you should have a really, really nice system.
