Hi Gene

Are you stands OK with the larger Mini T's?

I plan to try that tomorrow..maybe tonight.......The B&W stands can hold up to 50lbs and I have to check the plate size.  I have plenty of Blu Tac. Right now I have them 6 inches off the floor on some hard wooden storage cases.  I did have to block the rear ports with foam to control the bass in my set up. They only had 30 minutes of play time on them according to the seller, so break in is needed.

Yes they go very deep so you should not need the Sub

Sub is off.....still prefer them with ports blocked presently.I had blocked the ports on the Mini A's for a while also. I placed one on the 24 inch stands and I think it is too high. They sound pretty darn good only 6 inches high but I do want to get them up a little higher. Perhaps a 16 inch stand would work for me. I'll be doing my homework while running the Mini T's. It's a work in progress. It took a while for the Harbeths to settle in and quite a bit of fine tuning location b4 I finally got it just right. My room acoustics aren't the best for sure.  :icon_lol:

Don't be too concerned on the height as they have very wide dispersion so there is a lot of leeway in height placement.

great..I am going to order them from Music Direct.com  :beer:

So far the Mini T's are pretty incredible..a favorite new Cd of Bob James's live concert that he autographed for me recently sounds great, very detailed and full rich sound. One would think he was playing the piano right here in my apt.

Hi gene

Glad you are enjoying the speakers - I think as you move along they will surprise you with their ability to sound musical and full range but still resolve very low level micro details. :thumb:

Hey James:

I got an update this week that my Model T's and Mini-T Center should be on their way to my dealer soon. I can't wait them to make the long trip from Canada to the dealer and then on to Texas.  Please package with care!!!

Hi

Yes we got the veneer in on Wednesday so they are currently in production.

They have to go on a skid as they are too heavy for Puralator or UPS etc.

Hi gene

I am going to change the stands to Target as the stands in the picture are too light in weight and a little tippy.

messing around while waiting for delivery..here they are temporarily on the 24 inch B&W stands.

I found turning the top plate the long way and removing the bottom rubber feet from the speaker makes a better fit..the rubber feet or spikes can
 be added after placing the speaker on stand..seems hard to do if they are still on b4 placement.
