Mahgister, you typically make claims that spending more money without doing your "embeddings" is a waste. That's wrong, completely wrong. You are not making major progress by tweaking out your room. Even a very inexpensive speaker, one costing not much more than what you have now, with a different driver configuration, one that doesn't have to be put on a desk, would transform your sound utterly, completely. You would be in an entirely different place in the spectrum of performance. You could clear out every one of your "embeddings", put in a better speaker, and the sound quality would soar far above what it is now.
Tweakers think they are moving at light speed toward the upper end, when in fact they are inching along. It's pretty sad. I used to be a Chintziphile, so I know all about pretending you have oh, so close to premium sound on the cheap.
Go ahead, dismiss my comments as though I have something to sell. I'm not paid to write, and I have put in a lot more of my own money into audio than I ever dreamed I would. The reason? I actually got to handle the gear that showed how wrong I was. If not for that I would still be in the camp of people thinking that you can get the same result on the cheap.
