Thanks.....
1) How close to the back wall will the speakers be?
ANSWER - 12”. NOTE the maximum width of speaker is about 8” since they have sit on my 66” cabinet with the TV in the middle. Will these speakers be too large for room? I do not know but it is a concern.
2) What sound characteristics are most important to you?
ANSWER - I like a warmer immersive sound without excessive low frequencies (not booming). An open soundstage and beautiful sound. In other words, similar to my PMC Twenty5.21 speakers but more.
3) What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used?
ANSWER - New, around $5,000 - $6,000. The PMC Twenty5.22i speaker look very good but I am open to other speaker options.
