Spencer, you are too kind! But Yes, for once in my life I got lucky and bought speakers which must be placed against the wall, the only place for them right now. This did not matter to me when I was making a choice between SBLs, ProAcs, and Meadowlarks. Until we moved into this new house I always thought that I made a wrong choice: should have bought Meadowlarks.
This room is impossible! I know that if I get DSP room correction it will go nuts trying to calculate the situation. Luckily (again!), because of soo much heavy wood and all angles it sounds pretty decent: lively but not excessively so. Evidently, preamp balance has to be shifted toward Left speaker, remaining imbalance around midbass region gets "glazed over" by ER-1 sub.
