I agree it is great to see other DB99 owners here. I have had mine for over a month now and am amazed at how good they are. Break-in was a bear, but now they have settled. I agree the super tweeter is a big difference. The example of a piano above is very accurate. My speakers are 3' from the back and 5' from the side in a 17' by 18' room (one side open) and toed in about 20 degrees.

Also, is anyone using the rear firing tweeter. I find that it extends the soundstage depth, but reduces image focus quite a bit. Is this a break-in thing?
Delancy,

Sorry I should have specified this-- my figures are from the center of the woofer to the wall. Is the three feet you refer to from the back of the speaker or from it's woofer which would effectifly putit another foot aprox into your room?

Thanks
Tickfight,
Good point....my measurements are from the back wall to the back of the speaker and the right side wall to the right lowest side of the speaker.
