AB755's Locked and Loaded!

Finally got around to installing the 755's this weekend. I was waiting on the insurance settlement check to arrive. As it ended up, I paid $75 for a new in box pair of AB755'S. The corners were damaged. But with a little sheetrock patch and paint, the crack is not noticeable.
I mounted the 755's about 7 feet up and about 3 feet apart on my back wall. There wasn't any insulation in the wall, so I stuffed R13 to fill up the wall to tighten up the bass. I neglected to do this at my last house which hurt the low end which, btw, is not too low. I hooked the 755's to the B speakers to see how well they matched up with my front ls-90s. I dropped in a Steve Cole CD and listened to just the 755's and then I added the 90's on the A speakers.
Well, seamless timbre matching is a beautiful thing! The 755's and 90's matched perfectly for as low as the 755's would go. It would have been nice to get a bigger in wall with a lower FR, but as hard as these tri-lams are getting to find, I couldn't be happier.
