Avalon toe-in?
Goose,I did try multiple experiments with toe-in and after several weeks, I found that minimal toe-in (1/8") provided the best ambiance, soundstage and coherence. You guys have been a big help and I just put my spike back on last night, finalizing... 
Sub with Avalon Ascendant?

I have the Herron M1 Monos and they're fantastic. There are individuals on this board that use them with their ML with fantastic results. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed!
