I tried the placement formula on the Cardas web site and it worked well; not a location I would have thought of myself. Mine are also heavy and moving them isn't fun.Glass is the devil to deal with. In my active dealer days I sold a pair of B&W 801s and the buyer became convinced one was defective. I finally went to his house and the "defective" one was sitting next to a glass wall. I simply reversed the speakers and the "good" one was now "defective". Why he hadn't thought of doing this was a mystery to me. Glass is highly reflective and a really "live" room does strange things to the sound.
Speakers on carpet or bare floor?
I moved my floor standing bass reflex 3 ways from a bare floor to a carpeted room and noticed much softer vocals but also a softer (wooly?) bass. I have been supporting the speakers with furniture cups. Will stands firm up the bass without losing the softer edge on the vocals? You can see my system on the bare floor
