I use some fairly old Rega Ela speakers that supposedly were designed to be placed much closer to the wall to reinforce the bass, but I find that this collapses the imaging. Five feet into the room wouldn't work for me either - here in dear old England, rooms, especially in older houses, tend to be compact and bijou, to use a well-worn phrase. My compromise is toed-in, a foot or so off the rear wall. My other favourite cheap tweak is to pull out and re-insert cables now and then to clean the connectors, although I have never tried contact cleaner - does that work for anyone? -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33956 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
