It's just my opinion, as forums are full of it...no hard feelings, just that I find the 'over the top' heavy duty style more appealing.

You'd want your ears level with the tweeter and slightly toed in, but not directly aimed at yourself. Lastly, those with 'reference' racks, aren't they supposed to be as 'dead' as possible? Glass resonates alot, thats why people have sheets of MDF glued together filled with sand for actual racks.

Cheers, Brendan
They do not have a rear port, and like I said before, I'm working on placement. I use my headphones 90% of the time anyway, so they're not a high priority.

My Analog gear, and tube gear in the living room is on a wood rack, where each shelf is on spikes.

I'll admit, not the best, but for relatively cheap and looks good, pretty damn good
