Listening position/speaker position
@vthokie83   I suggest you try the speaker front baffles about 6.5 feet from the front wall. If you can add some diffusion on that front  wall it will deepen and expand the soundstage. Do not put any absorption on the wall behind the speakers, Ope...

@curiousjim Just ask @blisshifi he built mine. This is the description: This one is made from very heavy aluminum, using Synergistic Research Purple Duplex outlets, wired with Red Wave cabling , and a Furutech Rhodium inlet.
