I was checking the fedx tracking site online this morning and it said they were delivered to my house yesterday. Looked out my window and there they were, my new fxi a6s! I came in through the back door last night so I didn't even see them. Man I feel like a little kid on christmass morning! brand new in factory seeled box, 353$ shipped to my door!

    I cannot beleive how effin HUGE these things are! Unfortunatly I probably won't hear them for a while as wall mounting these is going to be a project. I was thinking about stands but I'd want these about 5 to 6 ft. off the ground, and they're just.. BIG!: :D:D

    Nice setup!!!!! But........ You shouldn't have the 2B's angled like they are and try pulling them out a bit. Just a thought

    My setup is very similiar to yours and I found it to my liking to have the A9's on the inside and my SDA's on the outside.

    I actually just did that last night. I have to replace a x-o in 1 of the a9's so the sda's are doing double duty for a while. Listening to music last night, I started messing around with speeker placement and this was the best sounding position I could come up with, I think due to furniture location and room configuration. I haven't tried putting them in the corners and pulling the a9's in. I will give that a shot -

    thanks! yeah, I'll keep adjusting speeker placement and also try Lee's suggestion. the hard part is I kinda got 2 sweet spots, the couch which is right in front of the speekers and sounds kinda in your face. Than the chair, which is off to the side a bit and sound is WAY better, base is much more defined and overall sound is a lot more laid back. speeker placement effects both these spots differently though and finding the perfect ballence-I'm still working on it..

    Your SDA's need to be facing straight out for you to get the SDA effect right.

    are the little rubber feet for the back of the speekers to keep them off the wall a bit, or are they for the bottom of the speeker? also is bipole the correct setting if these speekers are mounted to the sides of the listening position? the owners manual doesn't elaborate much on either one of these topics
