Congrats ! possibly the last speaker I will ever own. I can't imagine the sound getting much better in a properly treated room. Musicdre, I TOTALLY agree with the near field listening. I to have played around seating distances with them spaced 8 feet apart and found the mid to near field sounds amazing ! sound stage opens up side to side and front to back. The vocals are a lot more forward and intelligibility of vocals is amazing. I made the mistake of having a love seat with too high of a back on it, about ear level, and that clouded things up overall. Now I have my ears above and clear of the back of sofa and things have again opened up and are more airy for certain. Sure would like to hear that AMT tweeter though !
