Speaker Placement Priority - wall clearance or perfect equilateral
Very nice system you have Mark and your room diagram is great. Have you tried or considered moving the speakers farther away from the rear wall - say another ~2 feet out from the current position?Dave

+1 teo_audio. I always thought that emails were the biggest enemy of true communication until texting came along. Probably why they invented emoji to try to add clarity of intent to an otherwise easily misinterpreted written comment stripped of in...
