Have you tried moving the tv away from your stereo? Those things (thin and flimsy plastic encased tv sets) can be responsible for some nasty resonances (as well as some HORRIFIC tonal coloration) throughout most of audio spectrum and particularly with the lower vocal register. My humble advice, move the tv out of the room entirely -try it for a week, let us know! Ps. When, or if, you move the television set (completely out of the room!) also move the equipment rack to one side of the space -so it doesn't "fuzzy up" the center (inbetween the speakers) of the soundstage. And another thing I would recommend (in your particular situation) is to take some potted plants (or small trees) and place 'em behind (and slightly off center) towards the outside of each Vandy. Doing this should improve midrange warmth and not affect soundstage "intelligibility." Psps. If you'd really like to keep your equipment "in your soundstage" go with a MUCH SHORTER (and wider) rack -keeping the cdp on top (i.e. easier on the back. You have remotes, right?)
