purchasing US made speakers

@ douglas_schroeder

I have been interested in the Whisper since I first saw them in Stereo Review some 25 years ago, finally was able to acquire a pair a bit over a year ago.

I am not too far from their factory and spent about 5 hours with Bill listening to the Whisper & Aeris, and taking a tour of the factory.

Bill and a tech delivered them to my house and spent several hours setting them up. I will give you suggestion a try (simple enough), but I am 6.3 and the tweeters are pretty much in line with my ears as is.

On plus with this Covid situation is that I am now working from home. Though far from ideally located, I have a workstation set up in the back of my theater room and can listen throughout the day.

I am 6' 5" tall. Don't dismiss it, try it. 

Do you have sub-woofer/s with your setup?

I don't feel that I really need them for music, though they might add a bit. But my system is multi purposed for home theater as well, so could use them there.

I actually have a JBL sub-woofer which was included in the setup when they calibrated with the wavelet. It puts out next to nothing. 

I have a pair of Legacy XTREME XD subwoofers that I usually use with the Whispers when I want FULL range, FULL output.  Amazing difference su h subs make, even with Whispers.  When comparing speakers for review,  of course it must be apple's to apple's either way. The XDs were also reviewed. 

A pair of the Xtreme XD is what I was thinking, or possibly a single Goliate XD.

What positioning did you end up with in your setup?
