Thank you all for the welcome. The speakers sound great and I was up later than I should have been last night listening to them. I haven't gotten around to tweeking anything yet. I still have the mids and highs jumped with the brass rods so I will have to switch that. They are biwired with WW Equinox 6 for the bass and H/M. I have them on the 601 4ohm taps. Do others prefer them on 8ohm? I will have to do something about the TV and glass reflextions. Thank you all for your input.

I was surprised how big Jeff Whitlock's (OB1i's?) were, even for standmount speakers. They're big pupppies!

With the 501's, I got the same sound on 4 and 8 ohms. But with the 2301's, the 8 ohms tap gives a fuller and punchier bass.

Diminutive in size, capacious in sound.
