Thanks VinylHanger. Just to clarify, I'm not using `Friends' as a benchtest; in trying to get things set up as well as possible, I'm using the SX-1980 as a reference point and setting things up around it. The only other speakers I've used are built into a Seeburg `Home Stereo'; two way co-axial design from the 1960's. They don't sound bad but lack top end response. The Pioneer speakers are weird; it's almost as if there's a hole in their frequency response which is only apparent if speech just hits that frequency.

Do you think you could send me a link to wherever you got your avatar? A decent size poster of `Veil Girl' sure would brighten up my workshop wall
