Hi Wayne,This is probably a bit off topic - I am using the 3Pi with DE250 driver and found the midrange a bit thin and the high frequency a bit too shouty. Then I push them into the corner (about 1 feet away from the back wall) and toe them in at 45 deg. The system now has a much better tonal balance (actually quite nice!!!). However, my room is only ~10feet wide and I am sitting around 8 - 9 feet from them so the speaker axis actually cross in front of me by a large amount (probably 2-3 feet??). Is it an 'acceptable' placement? Or am I trying to hide a problem in the wrong way? Thanks.
