Mine started that way. I’ve moved mine out a little recently.

Also, get a set of stillpoints SS for them. It tamed some of the brightness and opened up the mid bass on mine.

Are you using the long or short ports?

Volks, How's the Hana settling in now?

I am currently using the Long Ports, because they are closer to the wall. The Bass produced is very deep,clean and even

You have a beautiful setup. Sorry to hear about the demise of the MT5. Just my 2 cents, but a VPI Titan would look spanking cool in that space.
