Thanks for the kind comments. . .they look even better in person!
Cujo, the room is actually pretty good, even without treatments. Bryan Pape from GIK has been over and the only thing he suggested was bass traps in the front corners (which you can see in the photos) and first reflection point treatment (also done). The speaker position in the embedded photos is not where they were located for listening. . .it's just where they're purchased a Sanders 10C system. They integrate very well with my room.
A friend of mine has the Sander's 10C system. He not only has a dedicated room, he has a dedicated stand alone HOUSE. He has Duke LeJeune's three satellite subs to boot. I know you're going to enjoy your new system. If I had the bucks, I'd take your Salk's off your hands. Someone will at some point. I think your Sander's are reasonably priced, too, in today's world. Your low end drivers are internally driven, right? Did you purchase his amplification for your panels, too?
