As far as placement goes, I've been lucky, the speakers I've owned have been pretty easy to place, which is the reason I picked them, not having a dedicated listening room.

M-L CLS speakers... Luckily it was the dealers misfortune and not anyone who owned it! ;-)

Loved the sound..but that 1 ohm load was a killer on all but a select handful of amps that could drive them back then..
