First, I'm going toconfess that I did not get past page 3. However, what he says matches my own experiences from the past couple of weeks. I mentioned in another thread that I got a a pair of Heresies two weeks ago. They are currently hooked up to m the "B" speaker outs of my Pioneer HT receiver. My HT set-up consists of Polk Audio RTi 38s (L & R) CSi 30 (center) and some cheapie speaks from Worst Buy in back. The Polks have much more detail in the treble than the Heresies, but which ones will I be listening to music through when I turn off this computer? Damn right! Ther Heresies. I can not tell you what they do to make the music more enjoyable, but they DO make the music more enjoyable. Maybe we can't process all of the detail that our systems can give us. Mayve it isn't all necessary. I remember going to a Young Person's concert with my son at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. This is said to be one of the best palaces to hear music in the world. We werejust to the right of center and about 2/3 of the length of the hall from the stage. I closed my eyes and could NOT place the instruments like I could at home. I had Polk 7s at that time. I enjoyed the music just the same. Sometimes, you just have to put your music on and let it do what it does and enjoy it. Regards, Jack

Thank you for your welcome and for all the replies. I did a search on "risers" and got lots of info. Before posting, I did a search on "stands" which wasn't as successful. There were plans to open an Ikea in SE Michigan. Haven't heard much about it llately. Jack

I inheirited a pair of Heresies two weeks ago. I think they sound great sitting on the floor, but I know that there were stands available for them. I'm not looking to buy stands, but might try to make some. I need to know the angle that the stands should tilt these speakers at. How did I get a free pair of Heresies? My cousin is trying to get rid of stuff for a possible move to Florida (from Michigan). He decided he preferred his Bose Lifestyle system. Who am I to argue? It will be intereesting to see what he decides to do with his McIntosh tube stuff when he finds it. It is from the early '60s, I think. My late uncle bought it. Would that work with Heresies> I have them hooked up to my Pioneer HT reciever. While I have your attention, If I were to put a Heresy below my TV, like to use for acenter channel, would the woofer be far enough away from the TV to not wreck the picture? I have this wierd idea the three more of these for HT would be great, if not unbeatable. I already have a sub (DIY, 15" driver, 500 watt amp, ported cabinet.) It's all in the basement, so my wife diesn't care. Jack
