What a great sounding pair of speakers! I have the 12s facing in with about two feet of clearance and the rears about 18 inches from the wall, so I'm close to optimum placement. Every time I'm home and Rebecca is not, I put in more CDs and crank it. Now to A/B these with my 2426s with new Radian diaphragms on 2344s over the LE14H. Can't wait.
    I think with over 1,100 posts, this thread is doing just fine.

    I think as a listener we all grow into liking a particular loudspeaker. We kinda fill in the omissions.

    On wow well it’s depends on what the wow it’s. I used to think ESS AMT1’s had wow 45 years ago because they impressed on particular Sheffield Lab Direct to Disk demo tracks. Same with RTR Magnum’s. At the time l like Maggie’s for regular listening.

    Then l got involved in the larger JBL’s.
    They are neither hifi or have a wow factor. They are Live Sound. They are very linear with power across the extremes and are accurate to put you right there in a recording session.

    Wow on steroids.. l guess.

    I've heard a set of L7's, albeit very briefly. I can't say that I was impressed, sounded very thin and harsh. Although so too did the amp I bought (Adcom GFA-555 II) from the dude. He had a bunch of stuff in that room and we listened to the things that caught my eye, but I'm thinking something else in his signal chain was to blame. Would like to listen to L7's again properly. However, I am now a large format kind of guy thanks to my 813C's.

    I have them placed per specs. VERY good. Esoterica is not my thing. Incremental improvements don't necessarily represent ROI. Tu meta no es mi meta.

    That and a Crown Studio Reference-II really make the L7 sing.
    I won't say which variable I believe is the most important!
