Thanks for the suggestions. I played with the positioning and I liked the current setup most in terms of soundstage depth. Having the setup like this I ran RoomPerfect software on my Lyngdorf and that further improved things (it solidifies imaging, improves bass).
Seems like there's good synergy between Sapphires and my Lyngdorf amp.
synergy is like cooking, it is what makes your love the taste of the food when you hit it to enjoy it and savor it. Smile! I have used 3 amps on my Shappries M3s and all have sounded great, but what makes a bigger difference is the right power cord on the amp. M3's speak to any changes you make.
