Yeah, the AB-AB positioning is often suggested so as to minimize the positional effects.
By the way Dean, have you got another Carmina Burana besides the Thielemann that you were saying last year had some moments of harshness?
It was the same SACD only this time I wasn’t hearing any harshness. AFAIR I was only hearing the harshness back then during the louder passages. That stopped when I switched from the Denon 2807 to the Onkyo 3007. Same thing with the louder passages in movies like the battles in “Master and Commander.” Scenes that made me cringe with the 2807 smoothed right out with the 3007. In this case we were using Sean’s amp but same thing no harshness.
