What's seen so far among these pictures and on the web ("tests" of the
sound of the Sonic Impact and the Squeezeboxes), I think that it's
surprising to see so many people spending lots of dough on equipment
and don't invest the time or money to make them play correct. Near
cabinets filled with loose, "tingling" (don't know the word for the
sound when small piece of metal rattle when they're loose) accessoires
that will sound as soon as you walk by the cabinet and will really
shake when playing music. Speakers close to walls, centre speakers
underneatch cabinets, etc. etc. :)
This is no flame, but I was just surprised... My Mission 780's (rated
best speaker sub 1000 UKP in 2002 by What Hifi, so it's quite a cheap
speaker) cost approx 500 USD at the time and the stands an extra 200
(and the ceramic spikes an extra 100), but they sound quite different
depending on where I put them (and when I put them on good stands and
good spikes on the stands). Let alone the subwoofer (the 780's only go
down to 65Hz), which I moved around in 10cm increments forever to get
the best sound. No loose acessoires near my stereo system, except the
odd remote on the table. A "tapestry" (don't know the english word for
a cloth haning on the wall) on the side wall, a big sofa etc. and I've
moved them all around to get the best sound possible. It's such a big
difference in the sound compared to just putting them in each corner of
the room, beside the side walls or close to the back walls, near a
cabinet filled with loose bits, etc.
I promise you that some of you would get much more value for your money
if you played around with your current setups.
