@voltronic I suspect it’s an audio myth that towers are more capable than bookshelf speakers. It depends on a number of things, but it’s not such a certainty.
I tend to favor bookshelf speakers on stands, as they can more easily be moved away from walls, which is usually a much bigger deal for imaging.
I hope you enjoy the new arrangement!
@codeWhisperer
The Audyssey room correction in my receiver should make it very simple to integrate, too. No manual setting of crossover and phase.
@voltronic @codeWhisperer Denon/Marantz amp?
@MookyTroubadour
Yes, a somewhat older but good Denon AVR-S710. I only use the main L/R channels, so this will wind up being a 2.1 setup.
@MookyTroubadour @voltronic
100% agreed. In this scenario the crossover (and amplifier configuration) becomes quite important, but the results can be (opinion) mind-boggling.
