I too have learned that placement of VA speakers is the key - more so than any other speaker I have owned. I have my typical day-to-day set up, but then, when I am alone and have the time, I remove the coffee table in front (see photos), slide the couch 2.5 feet toward the speakers, thereupon, the sound quality increases by at least 25%.
I have spend a lot of time dialing the set up for the room as-is..Verity Audio seem to really benefit from solid room integration. However, that is not to say they don't sound great in my "day-to-day" configuration - they do. But once you have moved things around to eek out their very best, its hard to go back..
Thanks, jtb
