Thanks for your comment.
The Sumiko Rep (Sonus Faber) dialed them in, took about 2 hours. They are out to just barely not touching the rug. The 1st pictures is not their final location.
There is no echo, because of the tall ceilings, drop to lower ceilings, curved glass wall, and the other two walls or lack thereof are open to the kitchen and entry hall, ie no parallel walls at all.
Saw your system with Mac Mini, Trying to decide to go that route, or a server like Sooloos. Sooloos Interface is to die for, or so they say. I've had two reps say Sooloos interface is the best, (they don't rep it.) And I don't want to spend all my time messing with Itunes. I don't have an I-pod.
