Thanks, we are enjoying the Tigerwood grain and more importantly their sound.
Yes, I do pull them out when the wife and I settle in for a listening session. They are placed beside the entertainment center, most of the time, because of my high energy German Shepherd. He thinks that area in front of the entertainment center is his playground!

You are correct they sound better pulled away from the wall.

I was expecting to get flamed for those pictures showing them tucked away beside the entertainment center and too close to the wall.
Now that I have been called out I can relax.
