My Eb1i's are 39" from the front of the speaker to the wall. Any gains from moving them into the room further are minimal.

Added a sub back into the mix last night. It was hard to tell it was on. But what it added was a more meaty full sounding lower end which was confirmed by my wife.

Rob.......That is the same combo I have set up in my living room system, one JL Audio Fathom f113 with a pair of PMC EB1i speakers. Like you, the sub has been dialed in carefully and is invisible with the exception of an extended firmness to the lowest octave. At lower volumes the Fathom supports the texture and authority of the lowest bass frequencies in a positive way. The EB1i's are no slouch when it comes to producing deep solid bass on their own, but the f113 enriches the texture of deep bass to my liking.

Dan and Rob, I have to agree with you. I am missing the F113's not just for the sound but for the feel of that extra bass. I haven't moved them back yet since my new speakers haven't arrived yet and it will be easier to A and B without the subs in the way for now.

I still have the EB1i's for now, but am selling them. Hopefully now that summer is drawing to a close, I will get more interest in them. They are a great speaker. I have replaced them with Acoustic Zen Crescendo's, which are a similar 3 way, transmission line speaker. It was a difficult choice, but my wife likes the glossy looks of the Crescendo's better. All of my interconnects and speaker cables are AZ's so this may help with the overall synergy that I am hearing. I am also not using subs with the new speakers. I will only be using subs in the HT system.

I will post pics of the new system on the speaker forum once I sell and move the PMC's out of the way.

This was a hard choice to make, since the EB1's were my forever speaker and I still do love them. I just have no place to put them.

Paul.......I am sad to see the EB1i's being replaced, but understand the change. Someone is going to get a great pair of speakers.
