If you wear glasses, take them off when listening. It works for me. Those hard, reflective surfaces in close proximity to your ears... Obviously, this tip only applies to listening to speakers, not headphones!!!
I wear contacts during the day and glasses at night and have noticed I much prefer listening to my system with the contacts in. Its rather distracting when I have glasses on so it makes me wonder about this.
@stringreen , sorry, didn't know you already had covered this. Ironically, Jim Smith very briefly touches on this topic in his book, yet all the illustrations show someone listening with their glasses on!!!
Smith is just a sales man - read books written by the top engineers in the field - here is a hint one of them heads up an entire lab that JBL built for him...
re rugs - ASC tells me to use a big rug that fits under both speakers and covers all the area from there to the listening chair
