ghdprentice, Also, since my left ear has lost some hearing loss, I think moving the speakers closer together helps a lot in terms of a better balanced soundstage and better consistency at high frequencies. I believe that having them closer together there is less interference caused by reflections from side walls, and also direct sound from the speakers, given the difference in hearing in my left ear. I am very happy to have experimented with positioning, and I suggest it to all music lovers.
