Perhaps it helps dissipate reflections better with all the angles going on. The house that I will eventually be moving into has a great room with a vaulted ceiling and I'm curious as to how it affects the sound.

Doug, thank you...there have been a couple of changes, but nothing major. I added a large bookcase on the right hand wall to house albums. The room does have a good amount of slap echo, so more needs to be done. For example, we'll be adding wall to wall carpeting and curtains. I'd like to put some panels of some sort on the ceilings, but don't know if we'll go there.

The room has a couple of five foot openings at the listening end, but the Sophias do a pretty nice job of filling the room. I'm still playing around with position, and working on even bass, but I've been pleased. Corner bass traps aren't an option due to the window configuration, but we're hoping that the draperies will address some things.

Robert, I think you could put some tube traps in those corners, especially if disguised with curtains, and they would blend in more than you might think. What does the back wall look like (besides gorgeous like the rest of the room)?

Randy, I don't know about the traps...depends on the size, I guess, but I think the window sills will push them out too far. The rear wall is 15 feet, and is pretty much two five foot openings flanking a five foot wall in the center. Currently, there is a lawyer's bookcase along the wall section with the glass doors flipped up and books staggered for some dispersion. My ears are probably 24", or so, in front of the bookcase.

That Blue of the Sophia is ever so sexy

Whoa! How captivating. How do you balance between listening to music through those beauties and staring at them. My Sashas arrived last Wednesday, and I still find myself laboring to listen when often times a song will have ended without me realizing it, because I've been staring at the speakers. Am I crazy?

Hahaha...I do more listening than looking, but I do love the color. Having bitten the bullet to go new with the color I wanted, I can't ever imagine having a different color.

Congrats on your Sasha...they're fit for a saint!

What a beautiful color. Thank you for your kind words, and kudos to you on the new acquisition.
