Hi Till, They are kind of hard to make disappear. This is the current setup. It's slanted more towards placement of the Buschhorn MK2s because the 4 Pis seem less needy in that respect. I agree that the soundstage is better with them closer together, but I haven't made up my mind about whether I like them better on-axis or slightly off. In a week or so they'll go into a new room with more placement flexibility. John BTW, you got me in trouble at work. I had just clicked on the link to Bond when I got called for a leaking boiler. When I got back there was a crowd at my desk. You'd think they had nothing better to do..
