Lowfidelity - thanks for keeping this all in perspective with the twin comments. I agree that they are much more important than speaker placement!
Eldragon - can't mount them on the ceiling: the bookshelves go all the way to the ceiling and the room is too small to hang them in front of the shelves (they'd end up directly above the listening position).
Eldartford - still dubious about equalization despite the effects of tone control, mostly because of the extreme skepticism or outright resistance displayed by most A'gon members in other forums. Perhaps no true audiophile would put their speakers in a position that would require equalization. But I'd rather play with other aspects for now and not add more components to a system that will someday soon be in a better space. Nonetheless, there is often wisdom in heresy, and you may be the Galileo amongst us. Thank you for your input, and if nothing else works, I'll add more hardware (it does sound like a neat toy!).
Keep the tips coming.
Roger
