Upgrading from Primaluna

Re speaker width try moving you speakers about one foot each toward the side walls and then cant (toe in) the speakers until the axis of your speakers cross in front of your listening position. Obviously it helps like hell if you can deaden the first reflection points but it is not as critical with the severe toe in. Also, I don't recall seeing you comment about the location of your listening chair, but it would probably be best located about 8 to 9 feet from the plane of the speakers (if aesthetics allow :-).

j-wall, FWIW, as you can tell from my previous post I pretty much agree with audphile but, FWIW when I had my speakers too close together relative to the listening position the mid-range was very muddy and did not really clear up until my set up was much closer to an equilateral triangle. For an experiment your speakers are 6ft (+/-) apart - try moving your chair so that it is 6 to 7 feet back from the plane of your speakers and see what happens. I'm NOT suggesting this as an ultimate set up, just as an illustration of what occurs, sound wise, when your speakers are further apart relative to your listening position. BTW, I agree with moving your panels forward to help kill side wall reflections. And DO try some substantial toe in as well. As this advise, bear in mind it is free, only takes a short while to try, and might save you the expense and time involved in upgrading your components.

Good luck.
