Synergistic Research HFT's

Fast forward five months and this is what has happened in summary:
1. Bought a number of GIK acoustic panels to cover early reflection points. Mine are moveable and I move most of them in and out for listening sessions. They are easy to do so. (It took quite a bit of time to get them due to what we're all experiencing with supply chain issues.)
2. Focused on upgrading my isolation platforms for my amps, upgrading couplers for all my components and upgrading my tone arm RCA and power cord for the phono stage. I chose HRS bases and a mix of Vortex and Nimbus for my components. I selected Stillpoints Ultra5 for my turntable. Cables and power cord came from Synergistic (and now I have 100% Synergistic throughout my system).
3. Finally -- and this the big one -- I put in a Distributed Bass Array from James Romeyn which is a modified version of the AudioKinesis Swarm. The system was set up by J. R. Bosclair, of Wally Tools. It was a good eight hour effort using data analysis to find the optimum location for the subs and the various nob changes on the sub amps (2). I enjoyed the process.

The first two set of changes we good and valuable. It's amazing what you can do when minimizing reflections and improving isolation and chassis noise.
But none of that compared to the difference of the DBA. Implementing that was an order of magnitude change improvement across the spectrum of what we typically define or use to explain how a system sounds. Essentially, the DBA rendered the other changes as tweaks. Whereas the DBA was monumental in impact.
As others have described and as it's been written in TAS, it's not just the bass that improves, but everything from the mids to the highs. It's incredible and so fun. Finally, my room is less of an issue (although certainly not perfect) and I have real, "deeply" discernible bass (and not just deep but low and mid-bass) with speed and accuracy. But the crazy thing is how much this system "corrects" lots of bad stuff happening b/c the bass was previously "misbehaving".
Okay...I'll stop. I know how this might sound or appear.

Yeah, it sounds and appears as though you have experienced a DBA! lol! What I been saying! And Tim. And all the rest of us who have actually done it. Good for you. 

@jpan -  I was shocked at the level of improvement I received once I add Vicoustic Acoustic Cinema Round Acoustic panels to my walls. I already have 18 HFT's scattered around.  The panels aren't even in a position where they would be most effective as they are 12 feet off the ground.  Being able to move your panels around is excellent.  I was trying to convince my wife to allow me to buy two VicTotem Absorption / Diffusers on the basis that I would move them out of the room when we had company....she said NFW.  I can tell you the Vicoustic panels were a game changer for me.

I have 10 HFTs around the room, as well as some acoustic panels.

They both work as advertised.

With the HFT's, what I find to be very interesting, is that you can tell (hear) a difference just by experimenting with their placement, to within a few inches.
