VP160 came last night! Woohoo! Thanks Axiom! smile

Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I did unpack it and put together the shelf/height extender from ikea. The speaker just barely fits inside width wise. What I mean is that the horizontal panels of the speaker are touching right up against the uprights of the shelf. Just wondering if this will cause an issue with sound coming out of the speaker? The front of the speaker clears the edge of the cabinet a good 4-5inches so that shouldn't be an issue. As advised earlier in the thread I left the back of the shelf on for extra support.

Thanks for your help!
