A factor to consider is leaving your gear alone and pay attention to speaker/sub placement and room setup. Especially if your system is in a multipurpose room. The coffee table in front of your listening area, the windows on the side wall next to your speakers, etc. All
the everyday things in our rooms are affecting the sound if you don't have a dedicated room.
My REL B3 location is best equal distance behind the listening sofa on a side wall. Unconventional, but the most natural sounding position, as the sub pressurizes and fills the entire room with sub 30hz frequency, not just the immediate front listening space. No
hint of a sub in the room, just realistic bottom end tone that average floorstanders can't produce.
I also have found AC regen feeding everything(including the HP) in my system a game changer along with power cords.YMMV, as everything else audio.
Play it LOUD
