Chin up old chap, stay strong *wink*
Stay strong indeed. I have spend 2 hours this afternoon building the Atacama SL600is (blooming heavy) and cleaning, hoovering, pulling out cables, pulling out TV, BDP, PVR, amp etc. cleaning them, pulling out everything basically, cleaning the equipment and replacing it all. (Then finishing the rest of the living room just for good measure.)
Then a good session tearing up loads of cardboard to recycle. Then, totally knackered, a resting bath. I couldn't have done any of this 6 weeks ago. (I'd just got home from 6 nights in hospital after surgery.)
The Audio-Note AX-2s sound even better on the new stands and I now have them only a few inches away from the corners made up by a wall (to the rear) and oak book cabinets to their sides and toed in quite a lot. They are about 8 feet apart and I listen from about 8 - 9 feet across the width of one end of a 14 foot x 25 foot lounge. I'll be experimenting with their position a little bit more tomorrow. (I've had enough exercise today.)
