Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe

I'm using my Mx in a diagonal set up in a 13'X13' room with tremendous results. This was of course, recommended to me by Bobby. A single trap in corner behind speakers, ceiling corners treated, and of course floor is carpeted.
Speakers are spaced 5'5" apart, and seating approximately 7' away.

By pulling the speakers out into the room, cancels out room boundaries! Also, moving the chair forward or back, also gives me some reinforcement in the tonal and bass department.

The rewards are tremendous, but requires patience.

Let me also add that, reading articles such as, "How to set up a dedicated listening room without fancy treatments", was a tremendous help.

It is written by Steve Deckert, where he discusses at length, the benefits of a diagonal set up.
