Macd, thanks for the comments. My cables may be the weakest part of the system. Currently using a balanced Kimber Hero between int. amp/cdp. The dealer recommended it actually. The speaker cables are a bi-wire pair of Totem Tress with bananas on both ends. Ayre recommends spades for the amp terminals. The system sounds great right now so I am hesitant to spend money on cables.
I used to have the Totems slightly toed-in but they are noticable better when faced directly forward, no toe-in at all. I have them over three feet out from the front wall because I'm addicted to the deep soundstage. I would get a little more bass if I backed them up a bit, but again it sounds quite good in there right now so I don't want to move anything at the moment. What speaker cables are you using?
