Hi John,
Are you using them with the spikes? I found them to warm up considerably when placed flat on the floor (concrete slab, in my case, covered with linoleum) but the imaging suffered and the bass bloated a bit. I do like the big, screw-in spike system Peter uses, FWIW, but I thought it shifted the tonal balance upward in my system. I kept vacillating between with and without spikes and just could not get it right. To be more precise, my problems were with overall leanness and hardness in the high midrange frequencies, and lack of sufficient bass energy in my room (which admittedly eats bass waves). I found the tweeters to be excellent in the EPS2. Ultimately, it's all about synergy. In another room with another amp, they could be outstanding. With the Mac amps I found a pretty good synergy but they ended up being too compromised in low-level resolution for my taste. That smoothness comes with a price.
