Thanks Craig. I am using the pre-outs on the Pioneer SC-1222 receiver that I was using before. I know its far from top of the line, but the speakers were a big enough purchase, so any upgrade there is going to have to wait a while. I’m using an Oppo BP-103 as my CD player, again far from top of the line, but....
The other thing I realized this morning, after reading your post again, is that I have the speakers backwards; the rear drivers are facing inward instead of outward. I was so proud of the fact that I got all of the wiring hooked up correctly, I forgot about that. Not sure if that will make tremendous difference, but will definitely reverse the two today. Duh!
