@stelo I will echo David's comments. While I also prefer my DI's well out into the room, others have had good results otherwise. Depends on the room and your priorities--bass response, sound staging, etc. I also prefer the speakers toed in (see my pics
https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7021) so I'm not so far off axis of the central tweeter. I find the DI's overall very well balanced and extended (but certainly not hot--a quality I loathe).
OBTW, I have a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP which drives the DI's in either triode or ultralinear beautifully. What output tubes are you using?
