Might be awhile. I just pulled the trigger on a Mac Mc452.

I'm using a Krell Evolution 302E.
I'm also using wireworld eclipse 6 copper speaker cables. My dealer suggested moving up to silver.
What are your thoughts.

I use wireworld silver eclipse speaker cables and love them on my Sopras!

Can anyone help my with rake?
I started with spikes completely recessed to make placement easier.
Once i found the spot, i fully engaged the front and rear spikes.

I'm having difficulty in getting centre voice to be above the speakers.
When I auditioned them, the sound stage was wide and the main voice or instrument came from above the speakers.

The equivalent of sitting 5 rows back of a live show on a raised stage.

Try toeing in the speakers. Depending on where your main listening position is will affect the amount of tow in. The voice is dead center above the speakers in my setup.
