CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl
Nothing to add other than media preference is an individual choice.I prefer vinyl because I've always enjoyed it. But also too, 99% of the music I like will never have 24/96 rips so for me its cassette (which I hated in the 80's except for making ... 
Speaker positioning games. Where can I go from here?
Since I seem to be moving the listening position into the pressurized space between the speakers, I wanted to ask.Does that high pressure area expand when I increase the volume? Does toe in affect that area as well?

@falconquest that’s awesome. I wish I could! 
Speaker positioning games. Where can I go from here?
To add. The imaging seems better sitting forward as does the mid bass. The sound is engaging and energetic but missing those lower bass frequencies. I think this because I’m close to the edge of the pressurized area in front of the speakers. I can...

@geoffkait  I have always read and believed it but never challenged it.  Going to now haha.@stevecham  that makes total sense. I will make sure to listen for that.

@millercarbon   Thanks. Amazing! I’m going to try every one of those ideas. Good call on leveling which I didnt do.You mentioned moving the speakers closer to, if I understand correctly, the sitting position which seems like it would subtract bass... 
Simaudio W-5 or Odyssey for Dynaudio Contour S3.4
I’ll second the Odyssey suggestion. Worth the wait
