Roger that, kubla.
One benefit continued listening has demonstrated is just how effectively the selective (in this instance, one might even argue "wholesale") addition of diffusion has made the Studio 20s--and with them, the wall and furniture boundaries--"disappear" with recordings not hard-panned to them in the mix. This in a space replete with SBIR horrors accentuated by the inability to move the speakers further out into the room due to normal-use foot-traffic patterns.
Now my wife gets jittery every time I train my eyes on the living-dining room system walls.
