    I’ll echo my speaker placement post. See above. Will help a lot!

    What’s your price range? My immediate suggestion is an SVS SB-1000. So much bang for your buck, and I’m sure you can catch a good deal coming up this week. If you have a large space / bigger budget / etc. let me know. But given your comment I really think that would be the best bang for your buck and round out your set up. Plus there’s an app where you can set it up and tweak; super user friendly. 
     
    One piece of advice I can give for your set up is also speaker placement. I know it’s easier said than done as your room might not allow it, but if you can get your (badass) Def Techs on stands that would help a lot. It’ll bring them to ear height, and you can get them away from the wall a little (if the room allows). Your soundstage will improve dramatically. If not, maybe try experimenting by putting them on the outside cubes of the third row and see what that sounds like. Toe them in a little (stands or not) so they’re just angled slightly to the outside of each respective ear at your listening position. Def Techs are already killer (I loved my SM55s — recently gave them to a buddy as his intro to hifi) and I remember how much they opened up one I got their positioning right. But I do agree that they could use a sub to help round them out. But yah, just play around and see what happens. Took me 15 years to get a room where I could even place speakers the right way, so I totally get if it isn’t in the cards, but I bet there’s a few minor tweaks that you could do that’ll help.

    That’s rad that you have a killer collection after such a short amount of time. If 23yr old me has all those I’d never leave my house. Haha. 
     
    I’ll suggest these stands: Monolith Stands — they’re on sale too. You can fill them with sand / cat litter or whatever and they’re perfect.

    I've been collecting since January 2014 (when I was 14 years old; I am now 23). If you were to count every box set by the individual albums they contain, and include the stuff that isn't in the photo, I estimate I've got a few shy of 2k. Unwound are one of my favorite bands, admittedly I double-dipped on a couple of the more recent pressings too.
    As for the speakers, it's kind of a makeshift setup until I've got money set aside for new speakers (and/or better speaker stands than a couple of Uhaul boxes from when I moved into this place a few months back). They're triangulated to the center seat of my couch.

    The speaker placement on that subreddit makes my eyes roll so hard. There’s a reason I haven’t looked at it in years and it’s even worse now; the shit that gets upvoted, my god.

    I love how y'all just believe bands should have been psychic about the vinyl resurgence when signing record deals in the year 2000. Don't defend shitty Ross doing shitty things please.

    I already knew Ross was a loser, but now he’s an abusive piece of shit too, wow. Like I didn’t have enough reason to strongly dislike this dude. Every time someone posts on Reddit a release of his I link them to the aforementioned examples of who they’re giving their money to. Echo what @Derek™said. I don’t care if this dude sold my holy grail record for $1; I’d rather not have it then give him anything. I’m sure this will die down again, repress Hey Arnold, people will buy it, more gimmick releases, and maybe in a year have this convo again.

    Is that what the 4th LP pictured on Imericon’s site? Says 4LP and shows 4 discs on the picture, but it’s 3LP on Victory and Amazon. And geez, that’s a $40 price difference for one disc too. I guess it doesn’t matter much cause there’s no way I’m buying it.

    I hope a CODY repress is in the future as well. Just make their way through the catalog. I need more Mogwai, especially older stuff.
