Pyro.......Your system is beautiful. Those MC501's are crying for the new handles. They would look fantastic in your set up.

Pyro, you have your speakers so close to the walls. Don't you think the midrange is a little thick with speakers so close to the walls? Definitely you have great bass!

--Levi
They are about 6 inches from the wall, mids sound good to me. I will play around with them. How far out are yours?

Thanks

On another note, I measured my PMC EB1i's, and they are 9 inches from the rear wall, and sound fantastic right where they are.

The new handles do look nice. I was following your build in the Mcintosh thread, enjoy.

I will do some experimenting this weekend with my speakers.

Hi Pyro, it looks like you have a great room. Definitely you have the space to postion those speakers. You can make them disappear. If the sound seems not coming from your speakers you are almost done. Listen for excellent soundstaging and the feeling of depth right in front of you. Finally, the bass should not be boomy or overwhelming the room.

Mine are 1.5 feet or .45 meters from the rear walls and lots of space from the side walls like yours. They were 7-8 feet or 2.1-2.4 meters apart. I have several audiophile friends over to help me listen and move the speakers 3 inches or 7.62 cm increments at a time.

It is easier to postion and listen to the speakers if you have a friend or two over. You sit in the sweet spot and have them move it for you. Then each of your friends can listen then you compare notes to confirm what you heard.

Moved my speakers to 9.25 inches from rear wall. I will listen this way for a while. Moving them out further would not work due to the room layout. My other option would be to rotate the complete system 90 degrees within the room.

That's not going to happen.

Either way thanks for the helpful information.

Pyro---Your system looks very familiar, in fact, I auditioned a setup just like yours today For the first time, I finally heard a speaker worthy of replacing my beloved Khorns. Very nice Oh, did I mention that system is dead quiet
