James,you have a nice system.I like it.
And you will be even more pleased if you put a speaker on the floor.I understand your trouble with space (I heard some information about 100 000 US dollars just for parking space ???),but if I were at your place, I would get rid of subwoofer insted of good speaker position.Quite a lot of bass from them, especially in a small room.
Made a few shelf for all of your Cd's and DVD's above TV set.It's not a lot of money and should not be a problem to do.

Agree with you DSJR.Last year I tested IQ5 and CA 540 int amp in my room.Very solid combination, but something I was very annoyed.Something like metal overtones,or too bright sound.And no silver cable anywhere.After changing of int amp for Primaluna Dialog Two things were much better,but still too bright for my taste.The only reasonable answer is tweeter.
Another thing.
Speakers do not have a lot of weight,and do not have space for filling (sand...).
At louder listening micro-movements are audible in spite of spikes (especially on a smooth surface).Should be something to do about that.
