Though VERY few achieve it, correctly siting the loudspeakers / coupling them to the room proves pivotal to the overall sound. Imaging, of course, but all facets of the sonic presentation.
Like focusing a lens, it’s either perfectly right or it’s wrong. In fact, I believe the effort spent on loudspeaker placement far more important than money spent in the chase to upgrade from good components to great components or the myriad tweaks folks here debate. You hear continuous, though not linear improvement as you come closer and closer to the ideal loudspeaker position. That’s the biggest reason so many modest systems clearly and easily best many exorbitant systems.
Put aside whatever feelings you may have for the messenger, and please give what I consider the all-time best writeup on the subject a read http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=994
