I did it again, I pulled them away from the back wall. I do this every once in a while so that my wife doesn't notice.
Lol! The Mrs hasn't really noticed I have 2 Mc300's in the basement! Shhhh!
Make no mistake.. she has noticed, and like all top-tier predators, she is waiting for her moment to strike. You likely haven’t noticed that her shoe collection has been multiplying like rabbits.
Oh I've noticed!

I did something amusing last night.
For the past month or so - and for no particular reason - I've been listening to a Yamaha (early, i.e., Dolby ProLogic-era) soiled solid state Yamaha receiver and a Samsung multiformat DVD player. Both foundlings, sans remotes. At the moment, the receiver's connected to a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 5 (5B? Series 2? -- at any rate, these have the SL2000 tweeters).
Sat down to listen for a few minutes last night. Thought it'd be nice to be able to skip tracks on the Samsung. Further thought "there's a universal remote control in the closet" and got it out. Got batteries for it, found the programming codes and, after two tries, the player was under control.
Listened for a few minutes and thought* "hmm... I wonder... maybe this 'universal' remote will work the receiver, too?!". Got it on the first try.
Heh -- I've joined the late 20th Century!

I know, my cable management leaves a little to be desired. I don't have a whole lot of room to work with. My future plans of dealing with it is to have is to have a new audio rack built. Maybe after the holidays.
Decware CSP3 Preamp, RCA 6DJ8, 2 X Rocket 6N1P-EV's, Cary SLA70B Signature V2 Amplifier: 2 X Mullard GZ32's, 2 X RCA/GE 5691's, 4 X Tung-Sol 6550's

my cable management style is pretty much of a piece with my personnel management style. Folks who worked for me seemed to like it, but... umm... it was pretty chaotic.
With me, it's one of those things that it does bother me a little bit, but I'm not going to touch it unless I can do it right. That probably means a new rack and possibly a new power conditioner. At least it doesn't buzz, hum, catch fire or anything like that. I must admit though, since this new preamp is a top loader, it kind of took a turn for the worse. So far, it sounds pretty good. So, for the time being, I'm content.

I made a port muffler out of some rolled up 3/4" strips of ScotchBrite pads and inserted them into the ports, with a marked improvement in the bass.
I also backed my KEFs up closer to the wall and spread them out as far as I could without obstructing the closet door.
This seemed to make the speakers "disappear" into the soundstage.
I also moved the sub foward a few inches.
All in all, I'm quite happy with the outcome.
I am finally setting up my shop rig, ordered a pair of Elac Debut B5.2's to go with my vintage Pioneer SX-780. Speakers should be here Wednesday. I'll post some pics when it's connected up.

Will be interesting to see what you think of them (with that ol' STK-module-era Pioneer or other drivin' power). Also I will be interested to know what you put 'em on and how you have them arranged in the listening space.
I've been listening to the 6.2s for quite a while, on and off, and I am still on the fence about them.

Placement won’t be optimal. They’re actually going on top of my gun safe, on either side of the receiver. I may wall mount them later, to spread them out a bit. I had the sx-780 in a Huge shop before driving some Energy C-9 towers, and it impressed.j

In an attempt to up my Digital Game, I rolled in a Lampizator Amber 3 DAC this morning. Right outta the box, this thing is going to far exceed my expectations.

I have to split off the 2-channel. With impromptu stands:

Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
BUT SHE DID FINALLY NOTICE THEM.
One day she'll ask you, "Is that amplifier with the big blue meters multiplying?"
