Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
I'm using my 180's at half power (About 90 watts)with KT88's. Its just that these are the only amps I have right now. I put some EL34's in them and they were super warm. I unfortunately spiked them when I was tube rolling. I forgot to turn off one...

Got the speakers in the right place. Put some Herbie's Decoupling/Isolation feet under the TADS and put some Auralex B22 Elite Pro Panels on the walls behind and to the side of the TADS. Now it sounds right to me. I can hear the speakers now and n...

Try this... Disconnect one speaker from the amp - either speaker - (turn amp off and remove one set of speaker cables from the amp). Meaning , listen to the tweeter only on one speaker? I have mono blocks, so I just leave one turned off. I hope I ...

No matter where I place them the tweeter sounds a little scratchy and over the top. Any suggestions?

2chnlben, Be sure to let us know how you set up your S-1's and how far away from the walls you place them. I'm still trying to get maximum sound from my S-3's.

Just spit on them and rub it off with your elbow or a paper towel. 
What is the gray felt meterial I got with my Sony?
No, I bought it brand new. The felt has a sticky peel off back and my guess is that it's dampening material.

John Weirs told me it wasn't necessary to rack them forward. I have my S3's 25inches from the back of the speaker(about 44 inches from the front panel)to the front wall and about 37 inches from the center of the speakers to the side walls. I tried... 
Von Schweikert VR-33
Has anyone ever compared the Von Schweikert VR-33's to a Pioneer S3-EX?

If I were to toe in my S3-EX in my 16.5 by 14 foot room, I would hardly see the front of the speakers. I have them toed in so the axis cross is right where I'm sitting. As far as Tad speakers being bright, they were just a bit bright when I got th... 
Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33
I bought the Pioneers for a few reasons. They sound fantastic and they are very well built. The Von Schweikert VR-33's build might be as good but the Pioneers have a 5 year warranty as opposed to a 3 year warranty on the Von Schweikert VR-33's. I ...

I have them toed in but not all the way and I put some rubber and cork footers under the back legs of the speaker. I wish that 5th foot was a little longer as I put the cork flats that came with the speakers under that too. It sounds very good but...

I have my S3-EX 16 inches from the back wall and 30 inches from the sides. They have warmed up a bit since I got them, I still don't think I have them in the right place for the best sound.
