You’ll probably fit the feet with the cabinet standing upside down. Just be mindful when bolting the feet on that it’s easy to lose a bolt or Allen key down one of the ports. Stuff some big woolly socks or jumpers in them as you do it.

Only just!

They required a major restructuring of my system!

Edit: my room isn’t that big, just took the photo in wide angle!

Looks great! I love your Air France poster :heart_eyes:

Looking good.

So? :ear_with_hearing_aid:?

Loving them, was up till 3am last night listening, which hasn’t happened for a long while.

The soundstage is massive, something I never got the Triangles to manage, but in their defence, they never had any room around them. I’ve been forced to create that room for the Hecos, with the extra width they simply didn’t fit with my system configured as it was.

Now pissing about with toe in &c.

Found if they haven’t been used for a while and it’s cold,they need a mini run in of 12-24 hours. Thought the pair I had were broken as they didn’t sound great,following day they sounded very good

Mine sounded a bit thin for the first album, but as I’d also swapped in the Arion Adonis which hadn’t been used for ages I put it down to that needing to warm through properly.

Second album in sounded great and so has everything since. Think I’ve dropped on to a nice little combination here.

Chuffed for you Rob.

They are far and away the best investment I (well Anne :grinning_face:) has made in any bit of equipment.

I recently moved mine to square on and prefer them like that now but I’m probably a bit more near field than yours.

I’ve just turned them to almost square on rather than toeing in to point directly my listening position and I think I might agree with you.

As soon as I moved slightly I was losing the imaging. Now they’re more forgiving, but still with the wide soundstage.

My head is about 8’ from the speakers, so still relatively near field.
