Thanks for the nice words, folks! Glad you enjoyed the images. You can see by the blue tape on the floor where the speakers were originally positioned, and one of the wider shots also reveals the difference in rake/toe between the left and right channels. They are no longer symmetrically arranged in relation to my listening position, but the sound-stage and "center image" are now much better focused, and voices actually appear to emerge from a higher plane and feel dead-center now. As you well said, this is the best tweak of them all!

I can offer great maple syrup, some VQA Canadian Red Wine and we even have a room named after the flagship

Great pictures! That looks like a nice room to sit back and relax in.

Should clarify, that the pictured room is not in my house, but at a resort where i was attending a conference. However, it is in Canada homage to the SF flagship

Haven't heard the Speaker Whisperer's work but Dany is certainly way up there also......

As he just started with Sumiko I haven't mentioned his last name, I guess at this time he will need to learn the ropes. I wouldn't be suprise though that in time he will start doing the same as Bill knowing Dany's character.

Just be patient,

Dan
