Awesome looking setup. Very impressive. Just a question for you. Have you ever tried moving speakers ahead of rack. I have Aerial 7 Ts and I had my rack in between and imaging and such suffered. Don't know if you can do it but you might be surprised. Just my 2 cents. Really really nice. Enjoy!

I have tried everything with the old 802's Diamond and chose to buy the MEN220.

The new speakers are fabulous, the can image from any position.

They are that good!

So you use the MEN220 with the D3?

Yes for now, I still use it.

I will experiment later taking it out of the mix, I think the D3 have resolved many of the issues I was experimenting with the 802's in my room, but not really sure, since my room hasn't changed and it's the one with the issues.

I know, very confusing what I just said and shouldn't allow me to remove the MEN220.

I was happy to hear that you use one. I have no realistic shot of fixing my room with all of its issues. I'm looking forward to getting the MEN on loan soon to try it out and I really hope it works. I need big help, not tiny tweaks at this point.

You will be amazed to hear the wonders it can do, especially integrating 1 or 2 subwoofers, should you ever need.

Also it will help with imaging and time delay with the speakers.

I like it very much

The true test is when the cats hear new sounds of tracks they have heard dozens of times with the older speakers!

I have not heard any of the room correction boxes, but have been reading about the MEN. Is there a standout room correction product that is particularly well suited to optimizing performance of the higher end B&W speakers?
