Because it finally dawned on me that I could perform the cheapest tweak there is, and probably the most performance enhancing, I decided to make a change! Moved my speakers about 3" out on both sides and moved my chair back 5". Man, what a difference! The stereo image is excellent and, it may be my ears, but it sounds like an improvement in bass. I know it's good because I haven't been able to stop listening to music all afternoon.
*smacks forehead* Why didn't I do this a long time ago?
Just wanted to post this to remind others of the importance of set-up. So cheap, so simple, so hard to master--have fun experimenting!

Very good, but unless you did a double-blind test, you did not hear an improvement, and................it doesn't count.

Rest assured, I did the whole thing with my eyes closed. . .

Can you post some pictures? I'm curious to see what it looks like.

I can relate Sean, with my 80's pointing about 3ft behind me and pulled out about 6-8", they have great imaging.

Ask, and you shall receive. . .
Nothing fancy. I have a small room--11.5'x11.5'--so I redecorated about a year ago to have the speakers fire diagonally across the room.
Don't make fun of my ugly red ottoman. The matching chair didn't fit in my room after changing things so I took it apart. The TV is so I can watch baseball games while listening to music.
Proof that I moved 'em. All by myself, too.
The flash on my camera tells me I need to dust and keep my greasy fingers off my equipment.
By the way, I'm running the speakers by themselves--no subs. I like it better that way.

you must have more than one audio room? Where is the Khartago?

It's in my HT set-up. Let me see if I can get a pic of that, too. Hang on.

Here you go, Randy.  Wow, it's a good thing I cleaned today. Even wiped off the Simpsons coasters! By the way, the light of the Khartago is almost blinding from straight on. Can't see it from the pic, though.
