OK DAVE. This is the way my 5A's were set up and the Vandersteen pros do it this way as well. Get a laser pen (not expensive - check E-bay, etc.) Put the pen on top of one of your speakers and rotate it left to right which makes the red dot of the laser shine on the wall in back of your listening position. Get a Post-It...a yellow small adhesive paper square that you can stick on to your wall, but will leave no mark when removed. Take a fine pointed marker and place a black dot on the Post It where the red laser dot images on the wall behind your seated position. Do the same thing for the other speaker...swing the laser pen left/right on your other speaker so that the 2 laser dots will now superimpose on the black dot you have on the wall behind your seated position. The object is to get the 2 laser images in the exact same place. When setting up my 5A's, the right dot was only 3 or 4 millimeter lower than the right, however, when I adjusted the speaker so that the laser was EXACTLY on the dot on the wall, the image was dramatically improved. As for what to put under those speakers, I suggest AudioPoints, but you can decide. AudioPoints make cones that are an exact swap for the Vandersteen cones...but work better. Hope this helps. If you have questions, let me know.
