Mike,
Thank you!
Yes, I have a pair of Sound Lab 645s coming as well as a pair of AtmaSphere MA-1s.
I think (hope) my mid and high “diffusion” with records and books will suffice. I definitely have some room modes, and it seems they would be just as susceptible to planars as cone speakers. I do think it’s prudent to hold off any major expenditure until the new components arrive.
I also agree with optimizing for my sweet spot. (What I’ve done to date) I also like the idea of making my desk chair position sound better, as well.
If you haven’t noticed, I’m not so good at patiently waiting!
Evan
