If you know what you're doing, you can get around those problems fairly easily.
Zd542: Nothing can be done with these problems you made your bed now you have to lie in it!

The "ROOM" rules! and box speakers sound boxy and close-in no matter what you do!!! "Electrostatic speakers get "out-of-the-way" from the "ROOM" more so than any other type of speakers period"! Think.. headphones without the ROOM!

We can go forward or backward!
No matter what I say, you'll just keep talking, so I won't waste my time. I'll just make 1 quick point.

Hifisoundguy also espoused Bose 901 as the world's best speaker a few years ago in these forums.
I would take this just as seriously. "

I know I can do better than that.
