Nice system! Quick question, as I am also running dual Fathoms in my system: I have them tight in on the sides of the main speakers (Revels) and inline with their front baffles. I am quite pleased but was curious as to how your sound changed by moving them back in the room? I have limited room behind my mains in my present configuration but was wondering how the sound benefited from your original positioning. Thanks!
