So, I installed 3 sets of HFTs tonight.
The first set brought more focus and spaciousness to the musical presentation, and helped control some degree of "riniging" I had in the space (my available wall space is actually quite low as my townhome is small but populated with many windows which take up a considerable portion of the overall wall space, so there's very little room for acoustical panels).
When I installed the second set midway between the first two mid-height HFTs that are Level 1, things really snapped together, and all of a sudden, the sound field and presentation become more palpable, 3-dimensional and fully articulated. As soon as put them on, it was like "Wham!" Better imaging and sound field. Pretty nice.
Now all I have to do is keep the cats away from them on my "ledge" (the half-wall behind my audio rack and the front entrance stair well). That black leopard Ringo went after one within minutes of my putting Level 1 on the half-wall.
So far, so good, very nice on the whole.
