Just a little update on my DIs, I have about 40hrs listening now and I think I'm done on placement and ended up with 9' apart 41/2' from the side wall, 3 1/2' from the wall behind and 10' from listening position. I get a soundstage about 4'-5' pas...

I hope not, but I'v been looking at my DIs and I can see where they would have to be because of the drivers being so close to the edge of the cabinets. The holes for the pins to go in are very close to the edge also, which looks to me like the edg...
