Hi maxovista, I'm interested in the 12.2 but what you described is that it's quite sensitive to placement... I don't have much choice in terms of room so will it sound bad if placement in not ideal? Thanks

Yeah, but that's the problem. Unless I move house, there's no other way I can put the speakers on stands. They're gonna be on top of the glass top of my TV rack. I can use isolation feet to make adjustment and that's about it. Some toe in and top angle are the only movements left. Max 6 feet apart, up to 5'6" min. AND, 6-8" from back wall. Can't create more space behind or my daughter will have a field day squeezing through the back and start pulling the cables.

Hence, I'm looking for something that sounds good even with the compromises I have now. I read that the Vienna Acoutics Haydn is not so fussy with placements but it cost too much for me to take that risk, even used. 1-1.5k is about the spot I'm willing to spend now. Do you think I should still put it on the 12.2? I'm using a 8000A MarkII, which has been lab tested to push 86W per channel even thought it's only rated at 60W.

Thanks for your advice.

Coz my TV rack is 6 feet wide. On the left is 1 feet from wall but a 6" shelf for DVD is there so got 6" space. Can't fit stand. On the right is open space next to staircase so... gonna risk getting knocked over.

It's a 7/10 condition unit advertised at 1350. I'm gonna audition it this Sunday. From photo, I can see some scratch marks round the woofer edge so I don't know it it has been removed previously. If no repair done, I will only offer 1150 at most looking at all the marks. Do you think that's fair?

I think yours look beautiful and totally worth the price, even if brabusm didn't lower his 1.2k offer.
