bassmantweed.......Take a listen to the PMC OB1i speakers. They are excellent performers. Contact Legend Audio & Video by clicking on their banner at the bottom of the page for a quick quote. You may be surprised at how affordable they are.

Check out PB1I or OB1I if EB1I is out of reach.

Everyone that has the OB1i seems to be very happy with them... Actually all PMC owners seem to be very happy with their speakers...

IAN.

The EB1is come with the carpet spikes and the plastic feet to isolate the speakers. (I have hardwood floors)

Right now I am using the plastic feet with big dot isolate disks under the speakers. Would I get better isolation using the carpet spikes with some cone isolation disks?

THanks.

I believe you would... Always go with spikes when you have the option to... I personally like to get out the bubble level have them at the same exact height and perfectly level. A pain but worth the total optimization.... The little things add up.

I will be outed from here for this! I caved and returned to my dealer where my Mcspeakers were being sold on consignment (unsuccessfully), for the FB1i's. I could not part with the xls360's...they are back home!

mc602.......There are many very happy XLS360 owner's. Obviously, you are one of them. It is a very fine speaker.

You can come out of the closet now.

OB1i can get you 'oh so close' for much less.
