Why are Kitty Kat Revelators so invisible?

An inch or three is fine, too, Shakeydeal, so dont get too broken up about it.....just dont want a foot or three...I think you get the drift...

Thanks for the encouragement, Rar1 - I think I have caused confusion by stating "flush" - I simply meant "near wall". I also read now that von Schweikert VR-22s can be closer to the rear wall....

Not broken up about it. And you shouldn't be either, as long as you don't mind getting ~60% of the performance out of a speaker. All is well.....

At the California Audio Show last week.

I saw a pair of speakers by LRE acoustics.

They were designed to be placed close to the wall.

The speaker designer had them almost attached to the wall and they sounded fantastic with 500$ denon receiver and a no-name (prob $200) cd player. A refreshing change from $500,000 systems with all the big names.

Here is the website: http://lreaudio.com/

They are $2000 a pair tentatively, The designer Jim Suhre was hands down the coolest guy I met at the show. He's been designing speakers as a hobby for 15 years, and this was (I think) his world premier.

Am not affiliated with him at all, just loved his attitude, and he was fun guy to talk to, and I liked him, and his interaction with Stereophile Jason Verinus was a blast to watch.

Check him out, you might be snagging the first pair.

Hey, Shakeydeal, Albert von Schweikert apparently doesnt agree with you. Read the Stereomojo review of the VR-33s. Designed to be close to the wall. Too bad I didnt read about the von Schweikerts before posting my apparently annoying post:)
