Listening Room

Larsen speakers may resolve some of these issues. And compromise, of course. 

I would have thought all the people here with high dollar systems would make it a priority to have a dedicated space as well. 

It's a journey.  The final destination should have a dedicated listening room.  IMHO.  

If you are a ROON user or have something similar. I use this in my office and it was a revelation compared to analog BALANCE control.

If you want something as good as a great 2-channel but do not want to deal with the room then consider the following,

(16) RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

I have heard both the Magna and Immanis,  Both are Incredible. I am going to get the Immanis. I think the listening experience will be as good as my Yamaha NS5000 speakers. Need to get another job to buy this. 😀

@jgjg123 , JerryG123, is that really you????

Hello to all,

I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a chair that is perfectly positioned in between speakers to optimize your listening enjoyment. Why? The room simply cannot accommodate a chair in the center or, most likely, your wife and/or significant other will not allow you to place a chair where it’s supposed to be when listening.

Having said that, you listen to music from everywhere in the room. How does one go about speaker placement? How do you increase the sound stage? Are some speaker brands better than others when you do not have a dedicated listening room? Thanks for your input.
