I'm really enjoying this room. The fronts are about 14 feet apart with the listening area about 14 feet from either speaker. The room is approx. 30x30. The imaging sounds good but I haven't really moved them around much. What do you suggest ? Don't get caught dead with a necropyliac.

You could experiment with toeing them in slightly to point at your ears(if they're not like that now)to seee if the imaging is even a bit better. ----------------------------------- Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

As JohnK suggested i might try toeing them in myself. Especially if you regularly listen to 2 channel music it seems a bit far apart. Nice though! Haoleb's Audio/DIY Website

It sounds really good now but I wonder how it could sound with carpeted floors, drapes etc. ThunderRd, I know of the pictures your looking for however I believe they may be forbidden here.
