  Do you like them better toed in like that? I thought they were meant to stay 'flat' (parallel) even in stereo(?).
  
  ... oh, and isn't it PDT? Or are you in...where is it? Arizona? New Mexico? ... where they don't change.
  all the best,

      No vertical dispersion (15 degrees), but reasonable (70 degrees or so) horizontal dispersion.
      
      What year are your pair? Mine are very late (early 1980s).
      all the best,

        You have QUADs too! How do you decide what to listen to? What are you driving them with?

          Currently they are being driven by an older Parasound amp - 85 WPC
          I am working on updating/modifying a pair of MC-30s for these with the kind help of Mike Samara....Updates as they occur....
          Sounds pretty magical

    This is the main LR- the quads are new (and every bit as gods as I could have hoped for),
    But won't get to stay - too Big - partner will humor me for a while....
    I usually have a pair of Shahanian Elfs.....
    Happy listening

      Try pulling them away from the wall a bit.
      
      Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.
