@djones I'll give a report!
@audioman58 oman I'm a big fan of the Finns and like the look of those speakers. Difficulty has been auditioning or I'd be trying them out.
@skypunk Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
@grey9hound Amplification in OP (QS tube gear, Orchid R2R dac); source is CD or Node 2i streamer.
These factors have not varied, so at least they're constants.
@mesch Waiting for the Salks. They're coming next week.
@aschuh Neat idea. Spatial audio is up the road.
@douglas_schroeder Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Trying not to overemphasize burn in (I read your article); just trying to do some burn in and put it out of my mind. I may be sensitive to treble but my wife and a couple friends agreed there was over-brightness with the treble. And some speakers were not over bright.
The 6.5' (78") ceiling is correct and some of those tweeters are 40 inches off the floor — i.e., they're a mere 3 feet from the ceiling. As for "lower the speakers beneath ear level", that cannot work with towers so — that may eliminate towers. Though the Dyn towers will be 10" shorter, so that may ultimately be the factor which helps the most. I'll try splaying them. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, I have aftermarket power cords and speaker wire but didn't want to bog things down with too much description. Pangea cords for streamer, dac, preamp, and amp: Pangea Audio AC 14SE MKII and AC 9 SE MKII.
@julie People above recommended Kef and Tannoy as solutions to this very problem I'm mentioning but for you they caused the problem. Hmmm. And yes, Dynaudio are on my list.
