I just linked to this after reading your recent mi fi post...I looked at the pictures first before reading the responses and I agree with Ykk...if you are able to do some rearranging in the room, pulling the B&W's (I have the same speakers) out into the room does wonders for the soundstage. I also think that you would be much much happier with the sound if there was not such a monstrous AV center between the speakers. "Why hide the gear?" is my personal opinion for whatever that is worth...I'm curious also about the amplification...I'm running a Bryston B60 integrated, but considering upgrading to a tube pre/ SS amp seperate combo...from what I understand, Audio Note is quite high end...do you think that you may reap more benefits from better amplification also?...jusy my 2c
