@mahgister,
"It is the ROOM.....
No speaker can exceed his room, any controlled room can exceed any part of the audio system in potential S.Q."
I'm inclined to agree. My modest music centre did sound pretty good in our old house. My current system is supposedly vastly superior but not as satisfying.
Some of that will be down to me being a lot younger back then and in the early days of discovering the world of rock music courtesy mainly of 2 books (The Illustrated "New Musical Express" Encyclopaedia of Rock and Paul Gambaccini's Critic's Choice: Top 200 Albums).
Even so, some of that must have been down to the room. Perhaps my previous room was a little bit more lively, and that fitted better in with my tastes?
Unfortunately most of us are constrained in the choice of what (size of speakers) we can put into our room nevermind which room we can put them in.
Therefore it's mostly a question of making the best of what we have.
Anyway, point taken, every loudspeaker must be considered in conjunction with the environment it is to be used in.
As someone once said, it is usually a question of placing one box inside another one.
It's bound to have some effect.
