Where do you have your rack?

Even telephones, according to Linn. They are probably right but I admit to having some other speakers in the room occasionally. I have my racks between and behind my speakers, probably not the best place but my room configuration makes it the most practical. If someone wants to send me a pair of Cardas GRs longer than the 2.5M ones I have I will try the side wall and report back.

The tv speakers could contribute. I have been looking for a good cover for the tv but usually just use a thick towel. Window coverings will get handled in the next fee weeks.

Tvad and stanwall-you guys hit the nail on the head for me. Those longer rca runs are (maybe by far) the weakest link in my system. Long runs of good cables get expensive fast. And the cables have to run behind a radiator. I know Jim smith says sidewall still. Just getting a few other takes. Maybe better cables plus a decent conduit are the answer.

I have decided to move mine to the sidewall; not a minor operation. Besides the unloading, moving, rebalancing etc., I have to have some more dedicated lines put in, no big job because I have a junction box within a few feet on the back of the wall I am moving them to. I was able to get a good long IC on here that should do a good job within my budget. I will let you know how it comes out. Anyone demanding a blind comparison of the two locations will be dealt with severely.
