Chris, You're just being modest. Look at those guys. Amateurs!! They are barely touching the speakers. Take another look at some of your Olympian leans compared to their incidental contact. Efforts like that are not even the same category, much less competitive.
Perhaps that suggestion about getting Danny a beer is a little glimpse into the secret of your technique. It is, possible that alcohol contributes to your air of nonchalance and the way you just relax into the speaker seemingly with total abandon. Is the bottle you normally hold used for counterbalance in the same way that a tight rope walker uses a balance pole? Or are you using the speaker itself to counter some other tendency?
Maybe you'll share some of these secrets with your legion of admirers when they converge on Colorado.
Perhaps you should arrange to hold a seminar on the subject. It is often brought up on AC so I have to guess that there is envy in the field. In fact, there's a good chance that this site is populated by a significant cadre of closet leaners. Myself, I think I'm just not tall enough to be able to execute a good lean on a normal listening level speaker and I can't even dream about pulling it off on a panel of any kind. The old B&W 801 is probably about my speed.
What the hell, it's a gift and I didn't get any. Count your blessings.
