Congratulations. I believe your made a great decision in moving up from the Sasha to the Alexi. They do sound very nice with Nick's gear.
(...) It has crossed my mind that the speakers might not be fully broken in; I'll have to ask my dealer.
Thanks for all the kind comments!
I took off the casters. If you look closely at the pic from the seating position, you'll notice that the casters were temporarily installed into the cones that accept the spikes. This made the speakers sit much higher than they normally would. Thinking that this would throw off the propogation chart, I removed the castes and put in the spikes - but I have them sitting on Herbies Hush Puckies (basically sliders made to go under spikes).
Holy deep bass, batman! I had turned off the subs while I tried to play with positioning and thought they were on! I need to start over in terms of placement which I hope to do today.
Lloyd, my RELs are hooked up to the Doshi amps (as opposed to a separate IC from the preamp). They take the signal (and character) from the amp but do not add any load.

Congratulation...I also moved up from Sashas to Alexias...great speakers..
In my 19 x 25 ' room, I've decided I don't need any sub at all.
Congrats! Just for sport since you've got the sub...have you tried cutting it off above, say, 48hz-52hz? Just a pure random Wild A-s Guess...but seeing as how I love my X1s with my Velodyne DD18 running in parallel and cut off above 40hz (48db slope)...I just thought i'd ask.
I thought for sure and was prepared to make the investment in 2 JL subs, but when I did the measurements after the last move, there was no need to.
