In another note, do people buy into the "keep your electronics in a place that is not between the speakers"?

It is supposed to be bad for imaging and stereo to have them in between the speakers. Huh?

My setup is pictured. I could move the electrics to the shelf on the left, under the fish tank. Hassle though.

The whole positioning thing is such a compromise isn't it? Ideally the speakers would be further into the room and the right one would be well away from that corner. But then where does the TV go? etc etc.

Could you move them to the short wall of the room? Was a yuge improvement for me, reorienting my listening position thro 90 degrees.

Edit: In those positions your next speakers should probably be front ported or sealed rather than rear ported. That means the Kef's are out

There is no short wall, it's knocked through. Only the bay window.

In short (!), no.
