    Thanks VOTT. I'm learning more and more every day!! And the sound is getting better too.

    I just tilted them to see and yes, I like it better. Bass is not an issue. The right bass is. More is definitely not always better.

    I finally closed on the house yesterday. Whew! Here is a pic of the room I will be setting up in. Or I should say two or three rooms.

    My initial thought is to have the speakers against the far wall and my personal listening chair on the other side of the fireplace. Yes, I will have to treat the stone behind my head. The floor they will be on is built up and could be have resonant vibration issues. I will have to wait till I get everything in to measure. I might have a problem. The double glass doors on the right will be a first reflection problem as well. Heavy drapes I'm thinking. I could open them up little by little and see where the best sound is. There is also a cathedral ceiling in that area. That will have to be treated as well.

    So I will likely build risers with floor spikes or some other vibration isolation for the time being. It will certainly be an adventure. My big decision is whether to incorporate my home theater or keep audio separate. Decisions, decisions...

    More pics of the space...
