800 or 802's - toe in

You are right! And it's a heavy 275. Stereophile, when they reviewed the signature 800, talked about a 4 man team that moved them and set them up.

It about killed me and my two man team moving them down one flight of stairs.

Lugging the 800's downstairs nearly killed me. They stay with the house if I move

Totally agree. I have 802's and I can't imagine taking them down any stairs. Definitely good advice to get 805's and subs if you move a lot. Or even 804's with subs. Those are pretty light.

Yeah baby! On a sad note, my significant other wanted me to do some house cleaning and the box for the Signature HTM was on the short list of things to be tossed. Unfortunately, the grille was in the box when it was tossed (I relive that stupid moment of mine over and over again)

Doh! My grill fell victim to having all the plastic knobbies falling off. If I were handier, I could (and probably should with a roaming toddler and crawling baby on the loose) repair it.

Where did you end up? In a 14x15 room I had them toed in to 3' behind the listener. In a 22x28 room they are toed in less, about 6 feet behind the listening position. Getting them at least 5' from the main or side wall (make sure they are not an equal distance) made much more impact than toe in.
