Thanks JackD! And very much the truth re: life vs. hobby.
Wow Fred, you have been such a Soul Superfly cheerleader. I am a bit shocked. But you have also tried so many amps that I am not entirely surprised that different speakers might enter the picture at some point. The SSs proving a bit picky in terms of placement?
VR-33s are certainly getting great reviews. As always, looking forward to your impressions moving forward.
And I blame that evening at your place for the Soul Superflys I am now trying out in my rig...
I don't have any desire to change loudspeakers at this point. The Superflys are very special in my opinion--I'm not looking for an upgrade so much as something livable. My room layout has changed since the night you heard them at my place. Had to change things around/open them up so my son could have an area to romp around in. The result is--my stereo don't sound so spicy.
An excerpt from an email I sent my buddy the day I came home from work and saw the wife's redecorating:

Hmm... lost a lot of bass impact. Thats not cool... midrange suck out too. shit. This configuration would be a lot more lifestyle friendly...

So I came home this evening to find my wife reconfigured the den. Basically my L couch now L's the opposite way against the window with my LPS behind me. Interesting, my system sounds very different. I think its because the couch now blocks the windows reflection point--strange though. It actually sounds kinda foreign to me.

This is something new to me. I'm not looking for better sound... I just want what I had back dammit! I own all the same components, but room layout trumps.
