Filip's system

[Filips]

It's a lovely looking setup. I particularly like the Giyas. 
What is the rear wall made of? It looks like it makes a very effective diffuser of rear wall reflections.

Not really Giyas, actually Oval B1d

Wall is made of ceramic tiles (sorry if not adequately translated).

My next step is getting room acoustics better, for now is just ok - one could hear slight reverbation but actually biggest problems are bass frequences. Offcourse, backfiring bass driver does it stuff, both positive and negative. Don't know exactly which of them (maybe 40-50Hz..), but tone controls makes it easier when heavy bass comes in

Regarding bass (when properly positioned), everyone who listens B1D for the first time is shocked by the quantity and quality of the bass - it really sounds like a proper floorstander. Slam and power of timpans on Reference Recordings' "The dance of the tumblers" (Eiji Oue, Exotic Dances) sounds astonishingly good! If you didn't try untill now, it's time to shake your walls with quality classical music.

It's definitelly very delicate for positioning. With these speakers heavy toe-in and far from the back wall is the way to go! Soundstage gets substantially bigger in every aspect.

Getting speakers far into the room (1.5 m from rear wall) is best thing to go.
