Acoustic Zen Crescendo

Wig,
I don't have the Crescendos but my Coincidents are of very similar size and have 5 driver configuration(two 10" woofers are side mounted). They're 8 feet apart, 5 degree toe in and I sit 11 feet away.

My Crescendos are 8 feet out into the room and 8 feet apart (measured from the inside of each speaker) and I sit 9 feet in front. I actually like sitting closer you get better depth and feel more part of the music.

Guys, sorry for the late reply. My Crescendos are almost 8' apart, 5 degrees toed-in, and 10 feet away from my listening position.

Sksos1, I will be interested to hear your longer term reactions to the Crescendo. After they are fully broken in, perhaps you can try them with a lower powered SET.

Just curious -- do the Crescendos need to be in a big room? A number of comments in this thread have indicated that the Crescendos are big speakers, although their physical measurements don't seem out of line with other floorstanders. (I am thinking of them for my 13 foot by 27 foot living room, but the speakers would be facing out from the long wall.)

Also, does anyone know of a dealer in the northeast that has a pair of these to demo? I have talked to two Acoustic Zen dealers, one on Long Island and the other in Bethel CT, and neither has this speaker on display.
