Since my pair of Sasha's were on casters and I marked off the floor after finding what I thought would be am optimal placement in the room for them, I was quite surprised after experimenting and wheeling them around the room into places none of the other speakers would work. They are simply amazing in terms of the depth and articulation of bass and not coupling with walls much at all. Both sets of Sonus Faber and Dynaudio speakers before them were much more sensitive to placement and excited the room much more with resulting bass bloat and overhang.

Yes, if Peter McGrath set them up, I am sure they
were quite optimized in that room.
