Satie,Will the Home Depot homemade stands be sufficient? If so, how far should I lift the speakers off they ground?
Also, what distance from the front wall would you recommend? In another thread when I first bought the speakers, you suggested 9 feet from the glass slider in the linage arrangement but I was never clear which way you were facing the speakers (towards the slider or towards the blue wall)
And thanks again for your continued patience and suggestions.

Yes, you can build new stands from home depot that lift the panel up and hold it vertical. The center of the driver should be at ear height - so pick it to match the height of your ears when you are sitting in your chair.
In the Limage setup on the sliding window end of the room the speakers face towards the kitchen and your listening seat would be somewhere in the dining area . They would be 9 ft or so from the window.
You can do the same on the kitchen end with the speakers 6 to 9 ft from the kitchen wall at the sidewalls, and you would sit as near to the window as the treatments on it allow. The heavier and wider they are, the closer you can pull your seat to the window.
Regarding treatments on the slider, typical curtain panels only cover the window. Should I extend the panels to the ceiling? Or around behind the chair and TV?
Should I keep or remove the plastic vertical blinds?
Is there some more effective treatment that would function much as curtains would, pulling out of the way when not in use?
don't remove the blinds. They are acoustically useful to help partially break up window reflections when they are in the open position..
You can get full length curtains and a wall to wall curtain rod placed in front of the blinds. The curtains do not need to be fully "populated" and you can have two panels that would be hung in the center behind you when you are listening and to the sides when you are not. You can add panels as necessary for the curtain's use as an acoustic treatment, or as a curtain.
Thank you, I will try the stands and Limage positioning this weekend. The MMGs are 48" tall, putting the center of the driver at 24" off the ground. If my listenong position puts my ear at 36" off the ground, then the speakers would have to be raised 12" by the homemade stands. Are my calculations correct? ff I use brackets that extend both front and rear at least as far as the increase in height, will that avoid tipping problems or should I weight them with sandbags?I don't recall if the larger rug in the room will extend within 10'" of each side wall, but if not, what should be under each speaker other than the laminate that is in the room?
I have made an offer on an upgraded Odessey Khartago amp. How would I combine that with the Adcom for biamping? I am aware of the concept of biamping, but would need specific connection details.

They would make for a good match to drive the top end of a 3.x series.
