Thanks Henry for the review.
Thank you everyone for your comments. Kernelbob our rooms do seem similar. Will try your strategy modified for my situation. I do get decent sound fpr background listening from back of the room on the side where I sit to relax, (in pic, bottom right near lamp shade) though I do my intense listening near field. When wife is away for a week I move my listening triangle more toward the center of the room.
Hmmm, how do I get your room picture here?
How can I say this kindly as possible, ahem, as I see you not only missing the boat but the dock and the entire harbor. If that was my room I would put the couch where your gear rack is and the speakers on the sides of where you listening chair is, while your rack is moved off to the side. Then prepare you audio mind to be blown away.
Now the Mrs. may protest such an arrangement, esp. long speaker cables across the floor, but it can be cone. You need to do some real sweet talking and tell her how much you love her and audio and how this is soooooo important for you to do. My wife was walking over 6 guage Fulton Golds, it can be done. She did belly ache at times however. Just be resolute in your goals my friend.
Lovely gear choice by the way.
