The speakers are set up in roughly a 3m equilateral triangle with the listening position. The toe-in is such that I can just see the inside flank of each speaker.
It's been awhile since I purchased the Etsuro Urushi Cobalt Blue and I'm still very happy with it. I have not kept up with the cartridge market in the meantime, however, so I can't comment on how it compares to current cartridges. For me, it's a good all-rounder.
What are your thoughts on the Etsuro Cobalt Blue? I'm looking at possible upgrades from my Hana ML and this one stuck out to me as a possible option, but I don't see much mention of it online anywhere!
That's definitely a drawback. I hate seeing wires everywhere. I recently had new floors put in and the swarm isn't currently hooked up. I'm waiting for new speakers before I put it back in. I want to get a taste of how the speakers intact with the room first.
I found these clips on Amazon that pin the wires to the baseboards - looks pretty tidy.
Are all of your Swarm subs behind your gear? I think I see one in each of the corners behind the speakers. I like the idea of the Swarm system... I just don't know If I'd feel comfortable having them spread throughout my listening space, with cables strewn around the room.
