Have you ever moved to improve your system

I didn't move out of my apartment for the sake of getting a better listening space, but that is exactly what happened when I moved into my house two years ago. I did some mild acoustic work to the basement--which is a surprisingly great space for sonic pursuits--and the sound really blossomed in a way I had never heard before. The system has gotten a lot better in the last year or so, and the room has managed to keep up with it.

In the last five years, I have moved from Wyoming to Hawaii, to Queens NY, to San Louis Osbisbo CA, to Bakersfield CA, back to NY, to LA, and finally to Alaska. None of the moves were to improve my system, but I have learned quite a bit about getting set-up in different size and shape rooms!

I also learned to get "full replacement value" insurance when moving.

My wife wants us to move down to the shore in a couple of years, but one of my criteria in everything we have looked at has been a room that is large enough for my system and preferably can be a dedicated listening room. Probably will have to compromise somewhere, but not at this stage.

we moved a couple of times partly because the neighboring apartment dwellers didn't appreciate our quality sound system. At one of the places that we moved into, people around the neighborhood saw us carrying in the speakers and then couldn't wait to hear the rig! The dude downstairs even used to phone us asking to turn it UP! Parties were the best though: everyone would leave their doors open just like back in the college dorms, the whole building would party together --- sometimes all weekend long.
