Kurt: Good point about the distance for good soundstaging.
These guys like to be wide apart and back as far as possible.
I also think the towers are to tall for on-axis listening. The tweeter is a good 12 inches above your head (if you are reclining or in a proper "groove" position). I corrected this by mounting the tower and subwoofer on a single 12x2 wooden plank. Next, I cut the plank between the tower and sub and attached some door hinges (two per plank). Finally, I placed a one inch dowel (about broomstick size) under the pivot point which provides the perfect amount of tilt (aims right at your face). Trust me, it's worth the work...
