PF set them up using manufacturer's recommendation as did Stereophile. No new information there.
PTF lowered them from recommended setting. As I indicated earlier, tell the manufacturer what works better than their rec!
Personally I think the idea of a good speaker is one that is designed specifically to suffer the least room ills, i.e. Tannoy Dual-Concenric, size comes with it, but but clearly these little puppies are quite the opposite, chasing the dream, big sound/small box.
In any case referencing the reviews those fellows seemed to have gotten decent sound.
When I attend live, unamplified concerts, I find that the room most certainly plays a part in the sound. As one who finds that dipolar line sources render that experience more convincingly, I have the opposite opinion. The room becomes "the enclosure" for my stats.
From your referenced sources, however, I find no evidence that Stereophile didn't set them up properly. Not everyone likes the same speakers.
Whine about the results however you please.
Mr. Reichert liked our speakers plenty well when he heard them at Capital Audiofest; see his show report comments on the Stereophile blog. Of course, at the show, they were set up properly for that specific room; we were not afforded the opportunity to set up (the clue)s in Mr. Reichert's unique listening space.
should refine their placement recommendations if what they provide doesn't work in home environments.
As I've mentioned in response to several postings, each and every (the clue) purchaser is invited to consult with us via email and/or phone regarding speaker placement in his unique listening environment. We have yet to encounter anyone who was in any way dissatisfied with (the clue) after availing himself of this service.
John Atkinson said the speakers were set up exactly as directed by the owners manual.
Do you question that assertion?
Please see the posting from the speaker's designer, James Croft, in re: that subject.
to update your owner's manual!
He likes em' plenty enough at the shows, eh?
