St_PatGuy, thanks for the suggestion all the same!
JohnK, I hope I didn't stir anything up by mentioning bigjohn as that was not the intent. I know he doesn't post anymore and don't know the circumstances around why that is. I just enjoyed reading some of his old posts!
I moved the speakers out as much as I could and have just about 2-3in clearance in the back, so I'm thinking I'm fine there. I ran the Audyssey calibration and it knocked off 8dBs from both speakers in the 65hz region and 4-5dBs in the 85hz band to help take care of the boominess due to the placement. Or at least that is what I assume.
Everything sounds okay so far, and I didn't hear any of the other items on the shelves rattling around, but I need more time to sit down and listen.
Thanks again for the help!
Mahalo!
Brian
