Oh boom! Thanks for that. I didn't know they had that locking nut on the bottom. Yep, I'm definitely going to play around with angle to try to get them to sound as best they can from a seated and standing position.
Yea, I hear you on break in times. One question I was going to ask you if you notice them opening up more after 200 hours. I would think 200 hours is really minimal and I would expect them to smoothen up some more!
I basically moved the mock-ups more away from the corner (and more to the right edge of the window). I think they are probably going to sound better there. I also ordered a longer RCA cable so that I can move the turntables further away from the speakers.
I think I've prepared enough at this point, just need to get them! I'll take pictures of my ogden trip and will update.
