I recently shuffled some components around and sold others. I'm back to where I started with a single pair of Advents atop stands that put them at a better listening height in that space. I measured the bass response and while it is linear in the bottom three octaves, its level was shelved a bit lower. For that reason, I still use the sub crossed at 50 hz to offset that.
I'm using a newly acquired (but used) NAD 326BEE integrated sourced by an otherwise retired Oppo 971 player or most often, an iPad streaming content from the music server via the iPeng app. I can also stream my favorite radio stations and Sirius XM. With that combination, I'm running the recapped New Advents on "decrease" and leave the grills on. They still benefit from the wool felt around the tweeters - although I had to trim the internal frame a bit for clearance.
A bit of the old (my first really decent speakers) with some new. The Stasis was a bit of overkill for them. :)

Sweet- I wish I had that much room in my garage...
Happy Listening
there's often a motorcycle stretched horizontally between the speakers. ;)
I will have to try that with my Sporster. I'll bet it will make my speakers sound a lot better. However, the wife got real uptight the last time I parked my Sportster in the living room. You know how wives can be!

Interesting idea. So the motorcycle baffles the sound enhancing the mid-range and subduing the bass a bit.

...especially the mufflers and seat...they add to the bass...
I had a friend who had half a dozen pairs of speakers in his main listening area; all facing the seating. Even when we listened with LS3/5A types, the bass was "surprising"...All those passive woofers vibrating in unison at certain resonance freqs...LOL...BTW, he denied the "surrounding" speakers had any influence on the bass oomph...
Isn't that why so many have been disappointed in the bass performance with their "new" speakers once they get them home? They are missing that dealer wall of sound!

You think the wife will by that explanation as to why I have so many speakers in my listening room?

with the bags and fairing taking center seat. :)
What I am wondering is what is behind the two doors that you don't need access to them, or least easy access.
I access the contents of both regularly. The audio system lives behind the left one. Speaker placement is a compromise between access to closets and clearance to cars when bike is inside.
With good weather for riding the bike, I typically leave it outside.
Leaving the bike outside would help; other wise it would srive me crazy trying to move around everything.
