We know your headphones... but what about your speakers?

Nice speakers!
I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts they'll sound a lot better if you get them farther away from that back wall.

Exactly. If Head-Fi were AA, we'd be telling each other to drink MORE.

And all you have to drink is So-Co and Chivas? I would have droped the Nordost for some good scotch.

No doubt! Right now, and for the next few months, the speakers have to occupy a temporary position in our master bedroom. Eventually, I'll have the freedom to properly position them.

Nice setup!
One more thing: does the plasma/LCD not become a source of unwanted reflections? I thought one of the golden rules of stereo setup is to place your speakers as far forward away from the screen as possible. Do you have a blanket you could put over the TV? Accompanied with you moving the speakers away from the wall, I think they'll be capable of some seriously deep, three dimensional soundstage

The current set-up isn't ideal. Actually, it's worse than it looks, since my only listening position is on the bed! We're building on to our house and eventually that room will become a dedicated listening area. Then, I'll have virtually no limitations on placement.
Having said that, the Vantages (with an Accoustic Arts cdp, a Cary SLP-98 pre-amp and Pass Labs amp) are truly amazing speakers even in less than ideal conditions. I am just totally in love with the Martin Logan sound signature.

I recently got new speakers. Already posted these in the Curse thread, but I'll just drop them in here as well.

I would imagine so coming from OII's. Bahamawoman will never get you out of the new dedicated media room. It's a beautiful system Rob, congrats!
digitalmind those are gorgeous! A fellow Head-Fier has even asked me to reproduce that finish on his project, and sent me your pic as an example.
I really expected to see inflatable speakers in your system though.
