Except in a very small space, moving (the clue) directly up against the wall - as we suggested to Mr. Reichert before his review - will actually make quite a significant difference. The lower midrange and bass will fill out and there will be added "texture" - particularly in vocals, of course.
We would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to set up our speakers in Mr. Reichert's room - or at least to have received a quick email or phone call from him when he wasn't hearing that about which he raved in his show report from Capital Audiofest (where he requested a pair for review).

I was down the hall from you at Capital, your room had a good buzz though I didn't get a chance to hear it.
Any speaker takes some effort to get the best in any particular room. Especially since you are a small mfg. a follow up would be nice with a chance to help optimize the sound which happens with some regularity in 'phile reviews.
As we're a (proudly) garage-band outfit, it's pretty unlikely that S-phile will have further time or space to devote to (the clue).
We take solace in the buzz we create at every show at which we exhibit, with our room at capacity with avid listeners throughout the weekend. They obviously hear something very different from what S-phile reports in Mr. Reichert's review - and more like what has drawn effulgent praise in every other published review and show report (including from three different S-phile writers: Art Dudley, Stephen Mejias, AND MR. REICHERT HIMSELF).
Thanks kindly for your comment.
...why didn't you deliver them and set them up like many manufacturers do?
We asked if we could set up the speakers for the reviewer - but he wouldn't allow it.
In this thread, others have suggested that only advertisers in and friends of Stereophile are granted the privilege of performing set-up and selecting/providing associated components. While this does seem to fit a pattern, we aren't willing to impute motive in the absence of hard facts. We maintain an attitude of agnostic detachment on the whole matter.
Bottom line: we are 99.9% certain that (the clue) was not set up correctly for the reviewer's room (please see our other posts for details) - and the reviewer failed to contact us, in re: the discrepancy between his experience of (the clue) at Capital Audiofest (which was overwhelmingly positive and shared on the Stereophile blog) and that in his listening space.
You have complained that others did not read the posts.
Did you miss the one where zendada wrote, "we were not afforded the opportunity to set up (the clue)s in Mr. Reichert's unique listening space."
