Shindo Amplifiers and Audio Note Loudspeakers?

Placement was pretty much finalized this weekend, although the placement will be tweaked if any element of the system changes, which is likely knowing my pattern of experimentation. I find that any change, including speaker cabling or power cabling affects speaker placement.

At this point, I am using the George Wright Signature AU-15 monoblocks with Morrow SP3 bi-wire speaker cable. Speaker stands are Sistrum SP-101. The speakers disappear, and create a deep, wide and high image. Lots of fun.

Tvad,

You have probably already done so somewhere else, but would you mind providing a brief description of your room where you are using the Es?

Thanks

The room is rectangular...roughly 12 x 16, and the speakers are in corners, about 4" from the side walls and about 18" from the rear wall. Positioning has changed over the first two weeks including being closer to the rear wall, and the present positioning has been the best thus far.

Tvad, I'm guessing the speakers are on the short wall and toed in? I'm curious to hear what the final position will be for you. I have speakers that are optimized for corner placement and I look forward to your posts as to your final placement. Thanks.

Correct. They are toed in so the axis crosses about three feet in front of the listening position. This is Audio Note's suggested set-up (crossing 2-4 feet in front of the listener).

At this moment, I don't anticipate changing the placement other than a possible small adjustment to the toe-in angle.

However, I will be auditioning AN speaker stands, and this may affect placement.

TBD
