Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33

I have them toed in but not all the way and I put some rubber and cork footers under the back legs of the speaker. I wish that 5th foot was a little longer as I put the cork flats that came with the speakers under that too. It sounds very good but...

I have my S3-EX 16 inches from the back wall and 30 inches from the sides. They have warmed up a bit since I got them, I still don't think I have them in the right place for the best sound.

My Rogue Audio Athena Pre and 180 mono blocks played right through the earth quake with not so much of a hiccup. Rock on Rogue! 
Nottingham tonearms compared to other brands?
I have a Anna arm soon to be attached to the table. As for now my Ace Space arm with the NAS made cartridge sounds great. The NAS arms remind me of 17th century English dueling pistols as they have shot down all the competition. Cheers.
