Thanks Dave and Steve. I will read about the speaker set up tips.
I have experimented with the placement over the last week or so, and it has helped somewhat. The soundstage is a bit more focused than it was previously. Adding the Cary Audio DMS-600 also helped....quite a bit actually. I will have to attempt a proper review once it is fully broken in. It is a fabulous combination of warmth and detail. Most importantly for me, the 600 has improved the high end. However, on the flip side, I now have the DMS-500 in the family room with the new Dynaudio Evoke 20. And, to my poorly educated ears, I have a deeper and fuller soundstage than the 2 channel rig, with just about the same treble. And the treble is rolled off the 500 to avoid brightness in presentation. But I will certainly dedicate some time to try and dial in the Strads. I owe it to them...lol. I would hate to part with them, but like women, looks aren’t everything.
