Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done?

I have 2 of the HSU HC-1 MK2 center channel speakers that I use as bookshelf speakers in my office setup driven by a Primaluna Dialogue integrated HP hooked up to a Sim Moon 360D CD player, I stand them upright and they sound great they are on 26" heavy steel stands about 14" from the back wall and 24" from the side walls and I'm about 8' from them. They are spaced about 10' apart.
You might want to try your placement somewhere around those dimensions to start with.I also have the HSU VTF-3 MK5 HP sub about half way between them.If you decide you don't like them you could always send them back and try a pair of the HC-1 MK2 speakers instead at half the price.

I will say that if off-axis listening is a priority the Hsus may well be the best choice of the three. Best of luck.

I've been doing fairly extreme toe-in with my JBL Studio 590's in my surround rig, so I'm pretty much all in when it comes to that.  And thanks!

I imagine the HSU’s will have more bass / more slam which LS50’s lack...

That's what I'm hoping.  Slam, bass and effortless dynamics, both of the macro and micro varieties, are all high on my list.

What model Velodyne subwoofers are you using

. A pair of DLS-4000R's from about '06.
Another thanks to all for the help and advice!

You know, I really didn't even check those out.  I just kinda laser-beamed in on the CCB-8's.  I'm gonna go back and look at them again.  I will definitely keep them in mind.  Thank you!

Wow, my speakers are already in KC MO tonight...with delivery scheduled for tomorrow...all the way from Anaheim, Californ-I-A in 3 days!  They just shipped from Hsu on Monday evening with Fed-Ex.  Pretty speedy!  I hope they arrive in good shape!
