I own Sonata speakers that I purchased from Ozzy62. I agree with him completely. I originally had the Sonatas placed a foot from the rear wall and three feet from the side walls, and I heard the boominess he is talking about. I moved them out to 22" where they sound very nice. My listening room is about 14 feet wide and 18 feet deep.
I visited Alan's Silverline showroom in Concord, California about two months ago and listened to his entire line of speakers. All of his speakers sounded nice; however they were placed in the middle of the room, not anywhere close to the walls. I will say that his new Granduer 2 speakers, that are retailing for $15,000, blew away the rest of the speakers in his line. I would very much consider them for myself when they hit the used market.
