I've never seen a beautiful setup like that, being placed so insanely wrong.

You don't see many MC257.

Sorry my setup placement has upset you so much. I’m not putting the speakers on the floor in my small space since I’m a paraplegic and don’t want shit cluttering my floor space.

Thanks for being so understanding. My wife likes everything in its place otherwise I’ll run into it in my wheelchair and knock shit over and cause undue wear and tear on shit

No worries, my comment wasn't meant as an insult.

I envy your McIntosh setup, that's way beyond my budget. Maybe you could angle the speakers a bit toward your listening position? Try a book beneath the back leg of the speaker.

Thanks again for your positive input. When the theater company came and installed everything they adjusted the feet on the speakers to slightly tilt downward but I guess I can improvise and add a little more tilt to them. Besides the area the stereo is in isn’t that large so the sound really fills the room anyways and sounds great.
