Such a lot of fine tuning and burn in to be done, you are going to be busy for some time. You will enjoy every minute of it

Sorry for not getting pictures up sooner, but work has been crazy. Again, had no flash on the camera so the indoor pictures are more yellow than in real life, but alas, here they are:

Have you removed the protective warp right away? I thought WA recommend it should be left on for a few weeks to wait for the paint to completely cured before removal.

Is it the final speaker position or more fine tuning is needed? It seems too close to back wall to fully perform.

Any plan to remove the wheels and put the spikes on?

Setup took about 2 hours and the film was on for the entire process. There were stickers on the film saying that the speakers should be room temperature before removing the film; no mention of waiting weeks. The film was taken off after approximately 3 hours and everything came out perfect!

I agree the speakers are much much closer to the walls than I had anticipated, but the current position is where the installer thought they sounded the best. There is still fine tuning that needs to be done and they are scheduled to come out for final positioning within the next week. I am going to mark where they are now (just in case) but try pulling them away from the walls and see what happens. They didnt follow the process as it was described in the manual, but I also have a fairly limited area to have them set up. I should also state that I had the TV pulled away from the wall in the pictures as I was screwing around with different interconnects. Once the final positioning is figured out, the wheels will be coming off. I chose silver spikes in case anyone was wondering.

They didn't "voice" your speakers properly. I just went thru an install of Wilson Maxx 3 speakers and am now familiar at the measuring, moving, and remeasuring. There should be a change each time it is done. The lower drivers are firing into the sides of your cabinet that supports your monitor. That alone will cause timing issues.
