Thanks! I was afraid I wasn't going to be allowed in the club! 
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
Hi end,is just that,HI END. Folks that buy these products are in a different world than most. Some look at these people with contempt. If you have the means,God bless. These people aren't taking money out of their kids mouths. As crazy as it seems...

I'm not a fan of headphones. I haven't used mine in a couple of years. For me,speakers are my drink of choice. I actually find it fun in a way, to mark where speakers are placed,listen for a couple days,then move them to see where I'm at. 
Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!
My tv's all employ optical out to either my 2 HT receivers( family room,and living room) and a soundbar(bedroom) 
Mola Mola Makua and Kartugas or Preamp and Merrill Veritas?
With that kind of outlay,why not hop on a plane,and put your ears on the gear? Just a suggestion.

I believe this is the first time I've heard anyone mention diffusion vs absorption at early reflection points. However,thinking about what you said about removing energy,it makes sense. Thanks for your post.

I just read a bit about Master Set a couple of weeks ago. Have you tried it,and if so,what were your impressions?

Aric,thanks again! I just ordered a Sylvania 5U4GB and a GE 0C3. Both should be here by Tuesday.

I've had the Chartwells for a couple of months now. I started placement farther out and toed in. About the same place that I have the Nola's set up. Sounded good,but the 3D imaging wasn't what I was looking for. I then started moving them a little... 
Worth of current system
I have about 10k out of pocket. That includes equipment that gets rotated in. Retail would be closer to 20k. My wife and I refer to our finished basement as "The Pit". I told her that should be the name of my audio room,as in "The Money Pit".

millercarbon,do you use HFT's with traditional acoustic treatments,or are these applied alone?

Ok geoffkait, I moved them a foot closer,and to my ears the soundstage became pinched and limited to only between the speakers. I then moved them back out in 1" incriminates. They are now about 6" closer,and the soundstage has opened back up.
