Very very nice looking system.
What ProJect basis do you use under the C220?
Did you tried with and without the basis and what is the (sound) diference?

I have used Solid Tech Disc of Silence under the C220, but the sound is much batter without them!

Thanks,

Gastronaut

Vaakoo,
Setup is close field listening. Mind telling us how close is the seat to the speakers. BTW, nice system, enjoy!
