You need them on low stands, pref open frames, about 6-8 inches tall. Close to a wall but not too close, about a foot or two away. They don't take much power before the mid starts hardening up so if you have a big room you can't whack it up and fill the room. So you need to sit relatively close to the speaker - but as they are a 3 way you need a bit of distance for the drivers to integrate so there is a sweet spot re distance from speaker to listener, I would say between 8 to 12 feet. An amp with big or warm bass will sound a bit thick and ploddy with them, so ideally you want to use amplification that is lean and clean, same with the source.
They are nothing like the '66 which you could use as a PA system if you had to. Stay within their limits they are very sweet, almost beguiling in their character.
Anyway that is what I found, they didn't suit me in the end due to my room size and layout. Might be ideal in yours. If not you could certainly move them on at no loss, or even a profit if you wanted to when the market picks up again in the Autumn.
More eBay lunacy. Pioneer PL-112D currently bid up to £256!!! :eek: Totally bonkers!!!
Last time I bought one was from a boot sale for £12. Even now I wouldn't value a mint one at more than £50.

That seller is having a good week. His Sony SS-7200 speakers are currently bid up to an astonishing £520 with over a day still to go.
Those Sony's look like cheap cerwin vega boom boxes.
