Top notch. A quick run through is all I was able to do. The only-thing that I noticed so far, that kind of bugged me, was the difference in sound from the center to the towers when running pink noise from my receiver. It was a big difference. The center sounded hollow. But I didn't notice any large timbre variations after set-up. First impressions with music. The overall sound was a step above the Polks. The warmth & detail was really nice. Very inviting, the Polk's were more forward sounding. Very happy. The sound stage width was about the same, the Polk 70's did have a wider sound stage in my setup. I listened in Pure Audio through an Onkyo 3009. Only artist I listened to was Adele, because of the dynamics in her voice. The 55Ti's held up & were really nice on their own, however when I turned to stereo mode & engaged the sub, everything seemed to fall apart.(X-over is 80) I might cross these at 60 to maintain some depth. Movie wise I don't think there is much difference between these & the Polk. Which the Polk's were really decent at to begin with. I'll let everything break-in, rerun Audyssey, & report back later. The WAF factor was really high with these also, that's a +. So, far I'm really happy. Don't regret purchasing these at all. I feel once I am able to dial them in they will go from good to great.

I wonder that the placement is affecting your soundstage? After seeing the picture of your setup, it might help spreading things out a bit. Usually 8 feet between FL and FR is a good starting point, though a lot of times living rooms aren't conducive to that rule of thumb.
