    That was a good recommendation on reducing the tilt. It typically comes down to your listening distance from the speaker, and as you noted, the tonality/fine tuning. I noticed this when I owned a pair of Magnepan MMG’s several years back, in my listening position having them standing straight up made them much more acceptable, totally, detail, etc. When I moved them to my larger room and sat further away, I liked a small amount of tilt back. What also can change that presentation some is what kind of flooring you have under them/in front of them, carpet or bare floor.

    Have fun Jerry, they look really nice, would love to hear them.

    Hi Jerry. Make of this what you will.

    In the years I owned the Podiums I tried them on a variety of amps - EAR 861, Sugden A21, Rotel etc and found the most listenable system was with a Flying Mole Class D amp. Worth playing with those felt stoppers at the rear. I eventually left mine all in.

    Cheers Chris

    Thanks Chris

    Yes, I've been wondering about class d. I have a small t_amp in my conservatory system (Justin's favourite amp ) , I'll swap it in and see what happens.
    If that works decently I may well invest in something a bit more powerful.

    The speakers didn't come with the felt bungs but I am sure I can improvise something. Bev has already suggested an idea for this.
    What difference did you find that they made?

    Using cucumbers in there might not have the same effect, but you could try.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Yes, I heard them at shows several times 10 - 15 years ago and vowed then that I would one day own a pair.
    It's been a long wait!

    I really dislike 'digital' harshness which I generally find goes hand in hand with a tilted top end. The Podium panel will deliver a good dipole supply of treble and the rear opening to the drivers for me added too much.
