Kevin, I can not hear the hiss from my listening position only about 6" from the speaker and only that far if the input source is FM. All other sources are less than that. My CC is a Klipsch RCX-4 and sensitivity is 94dB/watt and the amp is a Parasound HCA-855A.

I have pretty much dismissed the hiss as a non-issue. It just took my by suprise I never noticed it before. I most likely was there all the time.
