Thanks Mike, I didn't know how to post the links properly. ...Colter... You haven't seen my new place. I would be using the Klfs as chairs, the ksgs as ottomans and the rc as an end table....That's how small it is! It is a shame when I moved last time, I had to sell my Fortes due to space limitations and now the rest of them. UGH Space the final frontier.. The small composite cabinet stuff I have now really pales in comparison to nice solid wood cabinet speakers.

Sorry, They are all listed on ebay. If you can't cut and paste the listing numbers are: 270042284247 , 270042295135 ,270042289464 ,270042694623 Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-klf-30-speakers-stereo-home-theater-1800-msrp_W0QQitemZ270042295135QQihZ017QQcategoryZ61378QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So it seem I have to move into a smaller place, and all my stuff must go. Yes that's what I have to do sooooo my big Klipsch must go for now. See my ebay auctions for all the stuff. All are in excellent condition. Thanks KLF 30s KSF 8.5 RC3 II B&W LM1s http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270042295135&rd=1&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270042289464&rd=1&rd=1

Thanks for all your insights. When I get my new component rack I will realign and report back. Many thanks for all the helpful comments.

Now that I have found my imaging culprit, the positioning. It is time to shift the entire HT set up. From the positioning threads and articles I read, it seems I must place these klf 30s flanking my 57' Sony projection. Will I have any issues placing these bad boys right next to the jumbotron? Thanks

Uh...OK. I would say thanks for the tip, but I think you are choking on it.

Thanks for the replies. I now understand I need a bigger house! Unfortunately, I am limited to a rectangular room that is only 15ft wide and I own a big screen tv that is over 5ft wide. Since, from what I read, these speakers are not shielded i can not bring these close to the tv. Bringing the speakers off the wall any farther than a few inches would either put the speakers in obstruction of the tv view or just adjacent causing magnetic interference. What to do?

Do you mean out forward from the wall or inward away from the wall closer together? How is the vocal imaging through out your listening room? If you move from the center to the right do you follow the vocals? Meaning do the strong vocals then come from the right instead of being ambient or centered? My problem is when I am centered so is the sound. If I shift from to the left the vocals are too overpowering to the left etc. With other quality speakers, Fortes, B&Ws, old Infinities, I never had this problem. Either there is a placement fix or it seems these are too forward and directional for a narrow listening room such as mine.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET THESE POSITIONED?!? I have owned Fortes for 15 years. With them it was easy to place them equally spaced and viola! My listening room is 12x25 with the center listening position 10ft from the speakers. The speakers sit 3ft in front of my equipment 5ft from the back wall. I am powering the speakers with an Adcom gfa 555 200per side. With the speakers slightly turned in 1" off the wall, I get way too much left side vocal imaging. At first I thought it was my BK ref 30 processor. So, I hooked up my old Adcom gtp 500 and it had the same effect. I then started playing with the speaker position. By moving the right speaker 2" more off the wall it gave me perfect vocal balance. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! But, damn this took me months to figure out! I thought I had an equipment problem. Unfortunately this great imaging is only had when sitting perfectly in centered. Everyone else in the room will get off balance sound. I have never had a problem like this with speaker placement. What is ideal positioning for these speakers in a limited room like mine?
