Those are nice speakers. With the speakers 5 feet apart, 10 feet seems a bit far but only you know how it sounds. Living in a cabin must be fun!  
Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing
 1,400$/mon. for 55 sq./ft that's the size of a king size bed. The door would need to open to the hallway, otherwise you couldn't get in.

what are the speakers? Why are they so close to each other?  
Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions

you are comparing the high end model of one mid-fi brand to a low end model of a high-fi brand. That sums up a lot of questions. It's about pricing and R&D strategy. Will VPI include the quality design and parts in the low end model and would ...
