And I agree with you as well Dave.
My problem is although I love the way my system sounds in my family room, I know there is a lot I can do to make it sound even better. But can't due to WAF. One thing that just happened recently was I moved a (high back) sofa away from the middle of my room to do something while my system was playing and had an OMG moment. The sound just opened up, was more airy and detailed. I usually roll out a desk chair and place it right in front of this sofa while listening because this is my "sweet spot". I thought how nice it would be to make that sofa disappear. That's not going to happen. I thought about a dedicated room but I can relate to that isolation thing and won't let it happen. Things are good now as we can all share the room.
