Apogee stage manual speaker distance chart

Against all recommendations, I had my Stages 10-inches from
the wall in back of them and they sounded extraordinary,
with no boom. They were on the long wall of a 20x13 room.
Maybe the soundstage would have been deeper with them further from the wall, but the tonality and you-are-there presentation were so fine I didn't care.

They sounded like a wall that I usually hear between speakers and my ears had disappeared.

Rgs92, welcome to the Apogee magic.

Thinking of getting some mapleshade clearview ic's to replace the blue jeans from pre to amp. Thoughts? Anyone have experience with goin from blue jeans to mapleshade?

Whiznant, I use very thin speaker cables too. I will wager there is nothing better on the market for my application. For ICs I use Speltz. They can do it all, as my system attests to. I recently replaced a Blue Jeans digital cable from my transport to my DAC with a Speltz.

I run mapleshade speaker cable and love it. Went from monster zr1 (embarrassment) and it was like a blanket had been lifted off of my maggies. I was just wondering if the ic's had the same magic. I presume they do. The blue jeans are quite good though. My friend and I a/b'd some against kimber hero, silver streak and nordost red dawn and there was a difference but less than you'd think.
