Wow - they look impressive.  Huge monoliths - makes me think of 2001 A Space Odyssey.
 
James - if you don't mind me asking - what are the dimensions of your large listening room and how do you have them stationed relative to your sitting position?
 
I'm building a listening room in my basement and have often considered whether it would be sufficient to host Maggie's the 1.7 or 3.7.

I found this in the gallery and thought it would be interesting to visually compare the 3.6's in your room to the 3.7's.

This room is 16.5 feet x  8 x 23

Speakers are 4 feet from the front wall.
 
Currently 10 feet apart and sitting 12 feet back.

TKS - puts things in perspective.  Nice to have a decent sized room.

I do not have the 3.6 anymore but these seem bigger and weigh more. Maybe because the crossover is built in now?

Hi PRELUDE

Yes it does seem like I get carried away sometimes :duh: but I think it is important that I live with the kind of speakers our customers tend to purchase as it gives me a much better perspective on how these different products interface with our amps and electronics.

Do you intend to try a tri-speaker setup with the SP2 and the 3.7's?

Do you still have the Sanders or are the 3.7s replacing them?  (I got out the tape measure to do some room calculations but what to tell the wife????)

Congrats on the 3.7's James! The aluminum version looks amazing with the silver Bryston gear. Looking forward to a review :D

Well folks hooked up the 3.7's last night and settled into what I thought would be a few hours of blissful listening. For the first half hour no matter how hard I tried they just sounded dull and lifeless :scratch: :scratch:. So I figure "break in issues" - let it run overnight and listen again in the morning. This morning no change - GEZZZZ's what have I done :duh:

So like most inept audiophiles I decided to read the Owners Manual - guess what? -- the speakers come with the tweeters disconnected :duh: :duh: :duh:
