Bob, I heard them in a friends home and they were placed well. Don't get me wrong, they knocked my socks off even more than my old RTR Series 3's which had the most bass I'd heard in a tower speaker up to that point. FWIW I've been playing drums and bass guitar for 30 years and used to do it live on the road, so I've got a good idea of what realistic bass sounds like to me, but not necessarily to anyone else. What doesn't sound realistic to me is bass that's too constricted/controlled sounding ie. Sunfire or small Velo type bass. I like it a bit more ambient with some overhang. It's a personal thing just like the tuning of a bass drum. No "right" answer here. If I'm not mistaken, Brian Cheney recommends placement up to within a few inches of a back wall.
