Blair, I am not using the same speaker locations for the comparisons. I always position the speakers and MLP for the greatest possible soundstage width and image separation while maintaining soundstage depth. I also try to move them away from the front wall as much as practical.
I have posted many photos of all the speakers within my living room and basement. I do not listen to them that way though. I just took those photos for laughs.
I am not sure what you mean by you are trying to wrap your head around my last statement. I don't know what statement you are referring to.
