The diagonal set-up in this small room (10x11) works well for listening. The room has many functions and many doors and windows. The speakers are 6 feet from the listing chair and 8 feet apart. The WLM speakers have a downward-facing port, so their spikes are set on wooden boards separated from the wood floor by small brass knobs. This approach tames the bass vibrations from the wood floor that is on joists above a crawl space. I use the Audio Mirro amps during the colder months because they generate a bunch of heat. The Berning amp gets used during the hotter part of the year; and with the Quicksilver preamp the system can sing -- even with 1.5 watts. The very efficient WLM Divas (97 dB) don't need a lot of power to make beautiful music.
Incredibly versatile with many inputs/output. The DAC still sounds great.
Ethernet connection to my server with over 1,600 FLAC albums ripped from CDs and hi-def downloads. With internet streaming on top, the musical world is my oyster!!!
