^ This.Most basically, experiment with moving speakers wider apart and then closer together than you have them at the moment.  Likewise, experiment with pulling them out further from the wall behind them.  Then, when you have a handle on improveme... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Is this such a shoestring operation that they can't hire *one* more person to deal with phone calls, orders, posting on A'gon, etc.?I mean, are there units of the original Equi=core's still being manufactured?  By whom?  What about QC?  I was seri... 
$20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch!
With 20K you can afford a bit of a loss.  Buy the used, and if you don't like them, sell them on.  You're out, what?, 1K for an extended home audition.  Compare that to what happens, cost-wise, if you don't like the new ones.

Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers
Years ago Synergistic Research made a bi-ware speaker cable (with just one set of connectors at the amp end) that had a smaller wire on top and a heftier wire for the woofers. 
Why no discussions of Paradigm Persona for Home Theater?
I heard the Persona B's this past summer.  They were good, but they didn't blow me away.  Particularly impressive was the amount of bass coming out of that small box.  Timbre-wise, pretty neutral.  A solidly engineered speaker, that--for me [YMMV]...

Does a new cd transport require break-in time?
From Schiit:Clicking When Changing Sample Rates/Pausing/Etc. 1. It’s totally normal for our Bifrost and Gungnir DACs to click (mechanically, from the chassis) during normal operation. That’s the muting relay, doing its job. It clicks whenever the ... 
My speaker quest
You might try to hear the Vienna Acoustic Liszts.  Speaking as a ProAc and PMC owner, I liked them a lot. 
Opening a can of worms
What this does is call into question the notion of the "sweet spot", at least as far as cables are concerned.  No, not your listening chair, but rather the price point in the "family" of products where performance and price are best balanced.If yo... 
stereo receiver recommendations
Magnum Dynalab have five models. 
Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr.
The Totem Mani-2 used to have the most impressive bass I've heard out of a monitor-sized box.None of their current stand-mount options are specified below 40 Hz. 
Switching to solid state amp?
I ran an Ayre AX-7 for a while.  When I inserted a Rogue CMII into the system, the Ayre got relegated to the secondary system. 
$3000 Speaker Search
Given your preferences, I recommend you try and listen also to Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands.  There's something very special about that model. 
Come on people....BASS!
Good one.Rouge gear gets it's rendering of the base timber just rite.
