Apogee Mini Grand Questions

I'm looking at a used pair of apogee Mini Grands locally.
They appear mint, very well taken care of. I've heard the Calipers before & I did like them a lot. My video (living)
room is 32' by 13' feet with video at one end, these will be set up in 2 channel at the other end. I'll audition them w/my Aragon 4004MKII &/or Pass Aleph 2s. I've been told these have an internal crossover. I can borrow a Pass X-350 from my friendly local dealer if I want....
Any suggestions on setting up these Apogees to get them dialed in quickly? I can audition them for a few days.

Thanks!

I am no expert on the Stages, but do know they love a large, spacious room. I once heard them in a huge room and they were: to die for. My only suggestion is to put them way out into the room and let them breathe. They were driven by Krell (which I know was Jason Bloom's favorite.)

Good luck and enjoy.

Also, money permitting, I would replace the DAX with the Krell KBX.
They will custom make the board to match your speakers. The KBX, if not the best, is one of the best electronic crossovers ever made. It is still available new from Krell (although not on the web site). There is also a used one for sale now on ebay.

I have some comments about Muralman1's comments:

1. Mini Grand's must be actively bi-amped.

2. You can NEVER have too much power.

3. If Krell "is too ss" for Stages, why did Jason Bloom of Apogee use them.
