Congrats. Don't underestimate the amount of time for break in. I was ready to send my X5's back but Clayton, and the folks on the forum, convinced me to hang on for a bit longer. I did, and I continue to enjoy them 6 years later. And certainly work on the room. Those open doorways on tbe far side of each speaker will need some work for speaker placement. Find the first reflection off the sides first and correct it. Then, I had much better luck with deflection than absorption, work behind the speakers. People start playing with cables, tubes, new equipment, etc. and forget how important the room itself is. Enjoy.
