It's definitely something to bear in mind. I think I am keen to get the SFs to work as like I say there is so much I like about them and may not get in another speaker. You will probably recall my brightness issues. Well the SFs are excellent in this area. So smooth and sweet. I love that about them.
The overpowering bass has surprised me and I have read a couple of reviews that say they work near to a back wall, so has me a little perplexed, Of course al of our rooms are different .
I will do the Sam % experiment and even set it to 0%. I may even just try the simple thing of reducing the bass by a couple of notches
