Ok, I know nothing. In the last 20 plus years, in and out of people’s homes either working or buying something. If I see a quality setup I will try and get a chance to listen. If I am working and need to move there equipment, we tape around the location of the equipment and take pictures and measurements. What do I have? Equilateral triangle. I sit in the sweet spot and hear everything you said stereo cannot do. My bestbuy knowledge is still equal to what the manufacture of the product said. I also said in post 1, many of the homes I have been to are members here. It surprises me how many systems are no where near correct, that is why I started with a basic, blue collar mindset. But you have given nothing but noise. Is there a science behind it? No explanation of that question will be in this thread because of what I said 3 sentences ago. Conventional wisdom vs you? I’m sorry but what you are talking about goes way beyond what was going on in here, but jumping in a thread and trying to sound like you are they mit engineer.
