Same here, both Frank and I have our mutually unapologetically critical friend Robert to thank for his help. He has pointed out (my wife also agreeing) with every tweak and change I have made to my system whether it's better or worse or has no effect. He enthusiastically endorses the Hallographs (he has a pair, Frank and I have two pair) and the SR blue fuses. He says whatever works, do it and get rid of anything that makes our systems sound worse (despite high praise in the trade journals such as the Magico Qpods-yuk)!.
I admit I do not have state of the art speakers. They are multi-driver big box type which do not image well by themselves. I have heard more modern speakers which are designed for imaging, especially two way monitors, speakers such as Audio Physic, Focals... The Hallographs allow pinpoint imaging with precise changes in angling the top wood array. 1/8" on my left array makes a significant difference in imaging (for some reason the right one can be 1/2" off and still stabilize the image whereas the pair I use at the mid-room reflection points can be adjusted to up to 1" before they radically alter the imaging). After using Hallographs, I have no need for side and front room audio baffles to absorb and reflect sound (before Hallographs, the room could have used a dozen baffles). They just focus the sound throughout the room.
Together. the SR blue fuses and Hallographs create a wide sweet spot and an open, soundstage extending to about a 10' seating area. Great for guests.
