How do you like yours? Where do you have them placed in the room?

LOL!! I don't own a pair. My basement is only 7' high and I have no location for them on a wall to my right or behind me. With the ceiling so low, I would have to place them right in the walk way if I attached them to the ceiling, thus people would hit their heads on them. Thus, no FXi3's for me.

I just know a lot of useless info (for myself anyway.)

But everyone who has them loves them. You should place them about 1-2 feet above you as side surrounds (left and right of you.) If you use them as rear surrounds, same 1-2 feet, but you should have them behind your seating a good foot or two, and not have the couch right against the back wall if you want the best performance from them.

Sorry. I got them confused with your Klipsch's. Doh!

I think I kind of like the look and value of the TSC's more though. Plus, it'd be nice to have a uniform setup with all speakers of the same brand.

But thanks for the info. I'll consider it. This isn't a necessary upgrade, but just wanted some opinions and information from owners. Which you guys provided excellently.
