Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound?
interesting question. because, with very few exceptions, speakers are designed to be listened to a good ways (1/4-ish a ways) into the room. very few speakers are meant to be against a wall. boston acoustics floorstanding speakers, like A150, A20... 
Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!
@tubeguy76 "Vinyl is pure nostalgia, don't get too wrapped up into it.  " reel  to reel can get expensive, but thats pure BS. i hope no one else steps in it.
