There's a forum devoted to planar speakers where you'll get more specific feedback. Click here to get there.
I owned 2+2s for twenty some years and now run 1+1s in the HT. I find tilt back or tilt forward useful for *short* panels, but since these are nearly eight feet tall, you've got a floor to ceiling line source.
I did find, however, that precise - and I mean laser pointer and string from each speaker to listening position focused precise - placement was critical for optimal imaging with the 2+2. The 1+1s are less sensitive to extreme beaming with their narrower format.
If both interfaces share the same hum, you may have a ground loop in your system. On the other other, if the interfaces have never been touched in twenty five years, they could likely do with some TLC. I replaced the original Monster cable in mine which had oxidized horribly to the detriment of the sound, especially at the top. I also bypassed the signal fuse as well. Replacing the socks with thin spandex yields another beneficial improvement.
If you need service, I can heartily recommend Roy Esposito who was an Acoustat employee back in the day. He rebuilt the interfaces in my 1+1s and added his "air" mod.
