Speakers are 7' apart along the 21' long wall. Distance from the rear wall determined according to the Cardas method which can be found in the FAQs here at the asylum.I find it to be very satisfactory both in terms of frequency response and sound stage.

Your setup and room look great to me.I find some slight toe-in very beneficial in focusing the soundstage and bringing the midrange forward a little. (I have Quatros, and they should be similar in behavior.)
I'd suggest looking in to changes to your analog rig.

?? I'm quite happy with it and I'm not the one having the problem

Wasn't paying attention and thought you were the OP posting a pic of his setup.
that dawned on me after I posted

I notice a chalk mark on the carpet behind the speaker.Was the speaker there before? If so,how did it sound different from the present Cardas position? Is Vandy more vulnerable in the matter of positioning?
Regards

If you look closely, the present location is/was also marked and, yes, they are very sensitive to placement regardless of what anyone says.The original was per Vandersteen (he uses odd [1/3, 1/5 etc.]numbers/measurements) and I found the Cardas to be more natural. YMMV. I have also tried thirds in both directions with nice results but rather intrusive on the room space.
The depth of the room is 15' - left that out before.
