WOW!! It's completely different now!! I guess the equal sidewall reflections has cleaned up the sound. Also I am able to get a bit more room around the speakers and the bass is MUCH more defined and deeper. (strange but true). I didn't think my little speakers could reach down as far as they are. Also this new arrangement has cured a midbass peak I had been experiencing. The sweet spot is still narrow but nowhere near the constraints of before.
I don't know the exact measurements but I am a couple feet further back from the speakers and it's given me a much larger soundfield. I can turn it up a bit more now and get that bigger orchestral wash without feeling like I am in the first row. Depth of soundstage has increased.
Amazing, but just goes to show how the room is the most important component of all.
Thanks again for the prodding and the encouragement to do this.
