I have them spiked now and they sound great. I have the sub crossover set at 30 hz.

David.......Well, all right. Now you're cookin'. The SF Elipsa'a are beautiful. From the photos it appears they may be a bit too far apart, not much, but a little. An equal sided triangle between the speakers and your seat is a good starting place to begin the final positioning. Once spiked and tilted they will sound even better, not to mention how they will sound after 100 hours or so. Congratulations. You did good.

David, that's as good as they get since there is no "break in"!

Enjoy them in good health!

Thanks every one, I had to go to work so I only was able to listen for a short while. I have a feeling you may be right Dan about the speakers being a tad far apart, I was curious if the sound stage would be bigger if the speakers were this way.

David,
Having your speakers too far apart will give you a larger soundstage of course, but you will loose Weight of the notes.
The more the speakers are near the corners of the room, the more reflections you'll get so you would have to toe in them a lot.

Gee, if I am reading all of the threads correctly. You have nothing to worry about.
Break in doesn't matter.
Cabling doesn't matter.
Power conditioning doesn't help.
As long as you have room treatments, stick 'em anywhere on spikes and you will have great sound.


Jim

I don't think anyone has said to just stick the speakers anywhere. As for the rest.......

I have a equilateral triangle set up of roughly 9 feet . I had to move my listening chair back a few inches from where I was with the Cremona's. My carpet is getting holes put in it like a piece of swiss cheese
