Audio guy,
Where to get the products you mentioned?
I like to exercise b4 listening to music - puts me in a healthy strong good receptive mood - I feel good for having done it, and the good feeling carries into listening - especially after a shower.
This process both the exercise and a shower improves our circulation, which could explain the improvement in enjoyment. We all need help in circulation each day after our prime : it slows down 10% every decade after 20 something.
I feel optimistic and yung again after doin it. When we are tired or lacking sleep, our ears are sensitive and music feels different.
The sound of good tight deeply satisfying bass gives me energy, and lifts me up. I feel healthier after it.
A good sub adds something to our system.
I like the monitor audio sub, and this cheap sony sa-wm200 ($79 at www.etronics.com). It is not refined but the amp section has reverb built in - and sounds unlike any other sub I heard.
On low volumes, it adds mesmetising warmth to a bookshelf (I like small 5 incher with a sub - clearer better mid). Athena AS-B1 ($179 pair) with the sony sounds so good.
I like the three piece setup - small 2 way speaker with a sub. (2 ways sound better than 3) Because the bass is far away, the mids and the highs can really shine clearly.
Try to combine pleasures what ever they may be 4u - your favorite tea with music, surfing the net, good conversation and company, looking at art pictures, reading, etc. That is the good thing about music - Yoc u can enjoy it while doing something else.
