Youngest daughter graduated from college in May and has wanted my LS and an amp w/turntable... THAT's not gonna happen! She's headed from Ohio to Phoenix, AZ for her Master's in Sport Industry Law/Business then I think she's going to go to Law school there. She's looking at professional athlete's contractual work I think... Sooooo, was thinking I'd check out a PrimaLuna integrated, give her a pair of Heresy's and pick her up a turntable. So I guess that's my plan for now then I'll just replace it with their amp and preamp if I like the integrated. She's happy and I'm happy if things work. You already know what SS amp I'm running... Dunedin made... Where you from there? Close? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano1974 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Update on postioning CW IIIs so about 3 months ago as you guys are aware I bought a pair of CW IIIs and started with the usual postioning of corners, back wall placement and although things were amazing something still wasnt right So after asking here for advice on placement which I recieved in droves, "thanks guys" I tried many many more postions and still something was missing Eventually I went to the cardas website and used the room calculator and postioned the speakers to the exact mm and wow the difference was astonding Now I know im lucky and can do this placement because I have a dedicated room and most people have a C&C "Commander & Chief" that wont let this happen in your homes but if you can give it a try then do because its well worth the time and effort I actully bought my C&C in to the room blind folded and let her listen and she thought I had put the speakers in a bigger room lol Mind you I did take her around the house first blind folded to throw her off lol Also after reading the review and listening to Peter Mcgraths interview with sterephile on how he sets up wilson speakers and what demo track he uses which is Christy Moore's track. "So do I" McGrath explains what you should hear whilst listening and the CW IIIs in the Cardas placement nailed the description Below in the photo is where my CW IIIs now sit and also the album cover and track detalis Also the link for the interview so you can hear what McGrath describes https://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-specialties-alexia-series-2-loudspeaker Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT ... your water drains COUNTER-clockwise out of a sink vs clockwise in the US. And if I recall you drive on the "wrong" side of the road also Haha; would not surprise me if if New Zealanders hooked up their L/R speakers in reverse ... OK; just kidding.

Cheers, EmileLol we do wire our klipsch speakers out of phase because we know they play loud with zero distortion so by the time you guys in the U.S hear what we are playing when we crank the volume up its then in phase [emoji16]Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had them in the corners facing either right in front of me or right behind me. A few days ago I tried both speakers 15" from the rear wall and facing directly forward and about a foot from the side walls and i'm loving the sound right now. I feared loss of bass but that's not the case at all. I do remember a review way back that I don't recall completely, but it was a Forte I or II review and he found the best position was facing directly forward as well instead of toed in like most recommend. I'm going to try that cardas room calculator when I get a chance. Thanks!

I know what you mean by love them or hate them with the tweeter pointed at the ears there was definitely a brightness with some tracks and with some atrists but as soon as I placed the speakers in the cardas postion the brightness completely disappeared and with no loss in detail or imaging I know now that klipsch speakers are not so forgiving when placed in the wrong postion and when the room plays a part, hence why I think alot of people claim klipsch speakers are brightIt took weeks of changing postion over many many days and thank goodness for cardas and his crazy calculationsAnd also the speakers need exact placement for individual ears, we do all hear differently so experimenting is the only way to get it right, everyone has there own placement that works I hope the cardas placement helps you eliminate the love them or hate them issueSent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus89 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I just tried the cardas calculation and it wants me to pull the speakers 7ft from the rear wall and 4ft from the side walls which would put the speakers a couple of ft in front of me. Am i supposed to feel like i'm getting a lap dance from the singer? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
