The real problem selling here is that Drop is a headphone-centric community. I think headphone are OK but prefer to do my listening via loudspeaker.

scruffy1Disagree. Need smaller screen so as to not distract from the toons.

static.overdubneed a bigger screen to force you to separate the speakers adequately for spatial effects on the stereo :)

scruffy1I was going to make a joke, but instead...
Whats an ideal separation for a configuration like this? I currently have on my desk from left to right:
Personal Laptop - Left Speaker -34" ultrawide - right speaker - work laptop
Would it be better if I moved the laptops inside the speakers?

Speaker separation. Try to get about 4 feet of separation for bookshelf speakers or 8 feet for floorstanding speakers. If your speakers are too close, sounds will blend together and become muddy. If they are too far apart, there will be a gap between the two halves of the stereo image (more on this later). but you're also meant to be in the apex of a triangle. so for a desktop you should be around 3+ feet back and the speakers should be a few feet in front of the rear wall let's face it, for a computer desk, it's a compromise at best... that's why we have headphones :)

scruffy1Good deal. Might take a bit of time today to reconfigure things to see if splitting the speakers results in any kind of improvement. It will help my computing having the two laptop screens closer to the main center display.

scruffy1They are spread out more nowadays, but they're not in use at present. Instead I use headphones for my games and a pair of my holy grails, the ADS L910's, much bigger brothers to these L810's. Dual-10" bass drivers with their own separate bass enclosures means lots of deep bass output and even though the mids/tweets are practically the same in both sets, the sound from the L910's just sounds bigger; full-sized instruments play in front of me. They're everything I could want in a loudspeaker.
I was using an Adcom 555 to power the 910's but I worried about the lack of speaker protection so I found really potent NAD 208 THX power amp. The sound is incredible and the ADS L-series is known for the need for lots of current. 6 extra MOSFETs per channel seems to do the trick.
