Gentlemen, last nite I installed my recently aquired Coral Beta 8's into my Cardersound Madison cabinets, replacing the Foxtex 206e's--admittly I will A/B these drivers for some time. But last nite After much angst, I found the SPOT!! I have been spotting these speakers all over the room not getting the image/sounstage/presence whereby the speakers disappear from the room. Long story short--I put on Madeleine Peyrdux....turned out the lites, and in less than a minute I moved the speakers out from the back wall maybe a foot more and returned to my listening seat and Wala!!! Madeleine had stepped into the room right there in front of me! So sweet! Stayed up way too late as I now had to listen to so many CD's--It may not be the Holy Grail but for right now is Holy Cow Batman !!! sure is nice to finally get to where you have been trying to go!Jef Larsen custom 2A3 intergrated
