ok, will try and make this easy \:\) i am going to try and diagram my listening position in reference to the axioms and i would like thoughts about it:

axiom(in bookcase)--------------------------------axiom(bookcase)
|
|
|
^4 feet ^4feet
-- computer desk
^shelf Monitor




me(chair)



the monitor sits on the top shelf of the computer desk. looking straight ahead, the monitor is right between the axioms, thus "blocking" whatever sound is in the middle. i cannot move the monitor down lower to hear the difference by myself, so i cant do a quick and dirty on the sound difference.

any thoughts?
