[QUOTE="AV, post: 47817, member: 472"] Good post Goneten. We always listen to a system, that includes the room, correct speaker placement and also listening position. If one aspect in a system is compromised, it will affect the whole system. For that reason, I prefer to be present with the setup and initial listening at least, just because I know what I expect to hear and therefore can look for problems if needed. I was once invited to a friend of a friend's home because he got quite a nice system. We started to listen but I wasn't impressed at all, considering the equipment he use. I asked if I can play with his speaker positions, he looked a bit surprised but said I can go ahead. In the end, I ended up moving his speakers about 30cm closer to the rear wall, a bit out of the corners and moving his couch also about 40cm forward. Nobody could belief that it's the same system afterwards, it changed from unimpressive to something really special. He phoned the next day, told me that he listened to all of his favourite music again untill after 3 in the morning. :D So, it is possible to make an average system sound good in a correct setup and environment, also possible to make a good system sound even less than average in a poor setup and environment. Andr? [/QUOTE]
