Speakers

My problem in upgrading my stereo has been getting the speaker/amp combo right with the room. I hear a system the wows me in the showroom then I get it home and it sounds no better than what I had, There's too many variables that I can say from my own experience gave me fits. The moving co's made some money coming to my address to pick up the latest speaker to fall short. I finally went with self powered dsp's and it's early in the game but so far so good. 

The hard surfaces are going to be a problem.Give some serious thought to room treatments.GIK has very attractive options that fit in with any decor.They are light enough to be stored away easily between serious listening sessions if that's a factor.Check out their website - GIK Acoustics
