You can also buy something similar to case feet - Milty FoculPods, I've used a UK link just for referance, which country are you in?

Thanks =) They are a big pride to me. Obviously I wouldn't run them at maximum volume and it's because of that why the sound is so pure at common normal and loud levels. Hardly any mechanical movement of the speaker membranes / domes. Neither are they PA speakers. These are Visaton's top-of-the-line Hi-Fi speakers.

Same goes for the amp. Due to the huge reserves of power, both amp and speakers operate in an area that exhibits the fewest possible distortion. The amp has < 0.0008% THD at powerlevels below 50 watts. (0.03% THD at max load of 500W)

Can I join up? I've got a Kenwood VR-6050 receiver, a pair of Infinity Primus 250 towers front channel, and old pair of infinity sm-65 shelf speakers rear. I'm using an optimus pro x44av as center channel and have some Pioneer sub from a HTIB system. I'll get pics up when I get my digital camera back.

Here they are.


Full setup looks like this.

This is the only way I could get good sound out of them in a nearfield setup. I know it's probably bad to have them facing each other, but I guess with me sitting between them, I kind of damp out most of the potential reflections. Its weird too, the soundstage is kind of like headphones because they are on either side of my head. Gaming is interesting to say the least. It has that surround effect out of only two speakers.

*edit* My apologies for the huge pictures. My camera is either 640x480 or 1600x1200 +.

LOL...aw did the duct tape give it away?
*cough* well cuz ive taken them apart like 5 times, dropped a wood box on the midrange (patched it back up) etc... there used to be lpads for the mids and tweeters, but im too lazy to put them back in. Like I'd use them anyway.

Still sound good though. Especially since they were free.

good guess ATH-M50. AT studio monitors.
