Diagonal seating?
OP here. Although my ears are sometimes turned sideways to the speakers, I am equidistant from each speaker on my side of the diagonal sofa. That helps, but doesn’t get everything the way it ought to be. Given the sofa and some peculiarities of th... 
Streamer Upgrade
I second the Mind 2 recommendation. I am very happy with mine. If I were you, I would get the used one that’s currently available. I don’t think they show up used very often at all. For that matter, it’s not easy to find a new one here in the stat... 
When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one...

The dust is essential to the highest quality of audiophile sound. see the 148 posts about this on this site. (Search:all threads even sillier than this one ) Without the dust, the area on top of the speaker doesn’t vibrate properly to bring out th...

Cables? My learning disability has me going through a series of trials using tables, stables, and gables. I fell off the roof twice trying to utilize the latter. Now, I’m trying to get a handle on whether to put girls in front of the baffles or le...

Why do you think that is?

I suspected that the stuffing was important. Perhaps I could keep my stash of stolen loose diamonds elsewhere. Maybe I should try cornflakes?  
Uneven room dimensions/reflections = uneven toe in as solution?
