Wow oblgny
You have one of the toughest roughest rooms to set up
that can be imagined .
At 12 feet distance I can see ( imagine hearing ) why you don't have any toe-in.
My current room is the first I've ever had that is a rectangle
measuring 13'2" wide and 17'2" long with 8 foot ceilings
It would be a perfect size  if my listen chair wasn't up against the foot of my king size bed , that I turned 90 degrees to gain 4" of listening space.
At least I don't have to worry about rear wall reflections.

I agree with you about the air , I could never listen to headphones.

You brought up the Temptations " Ball of Confusion ",
it's been a long time since I've heard that one, 
I've just bought a german copy of   "Psychedelic Shack ".
Something else I've learned with upgrading my system
is the my old records while looking good are worn out,
so I've been buying multiple copies from different countries and pressings of my favorites and play them in rotation.

Hi Oblgny-

What part of NYC are you in? Your welcome to come by sometime and check out these 3.7s. I’d also be curious to hear your 3.6s with that nice BAT of yours.. I know what you mean by the NASA liftoff sequence getting a little tiring, would be nice to simplify things a bit in terms of the front end gear.

Big congrats on receiving the 3.7's safely!  I received my 3.6's from Chicago on a pallet and I was literally watching the weather from start to finish. Cool that you could compare the differences side by side between the 3.5/3.7 too. Enjoy!

Feh - I've learned to forgive what my room doesn't and just get back to listening to music. 

I dug through my magic bag of speaker cables today and found - to my glee - a 6 foot pair of Goertz Alpha Core Veracity cables that I bought I don't know how long ago. I've had this irking feeling that SOMETHING wasn't coming through with my 3.6's now...something.  Out went the Transparent cables...

I also swapped out the rca ic's I was using with my Sony HAP server, returning to balanced XLR. 

Methinks me hit on a good tweak. 

Arniespin...

I reside in the 'boibs, out on the island in Lake Grove - a town with neither a lake nor a grove in site. What makes up for the lack of namesake is a good little store right around the corner from me, Audio Den. 

It was opportunity that made me jump on the ones from Chicago. I felt they could be the last pair at a fair price - $1300 plus $300 palletized - that I would find "close" to me. Prior I had let a couple of New York ones elude me.  Just hadda pull the trigger. 

I was/remain so damn fond of the 3.5's that appreciating the 3.6's has taken some 'sperimenting.  Today I think I attained bringing out their DNA by swapping a few cables. (Posted a few minutes ago) Mind you, I dug the 3.6's right offa the pallet and outta the box, but there was still SOMETHING not coming forth. 

Methinks it's the Goertz cables mostly. Two feet shorter than the Transparent cables were. 

Damn. Now I'm gonna start pining for a pair of 3.7's...
