Hi Alan,
I am unsure of what you mean by 'ringing'? I only hear music from the speakers and do not hear any Intrusions. The distance is about 8' between the speakers and will eventually go perhaps 10', although I will try to find the optimum when the room gets a make over. They are 'toed in' but when the wall that they are against is fully clear only then can I move apart etc. I'd like to try corner placement also in the future to see what they sound like. I sit about 15' away at present for normal listening, but when 'I'm in a mood for a bit of AC/DC' I put out a 'loud noise' warning then crank it up. They do go loud!very. And the 18" bass cones pump out some wonderfully articulate bass also with oodles of depth, dunno how low they go but there is no need for a sub! I have not heard any Azura's or even these 150's til I bought them so can't comment. Of all the equipment I have to be replaced (funds permitting) these fantastic Johnk creations will sure stay for the duration. I use my Nagaokas with Fostex FE168Sigma cones for late night listening as the Oris are Indeed a little to dynamic for the oh-so quiet moments.
