RE: Listening styles - I'm curious about others

Hello Frihed89!

So what are my listening technics or styles?

Serious: Sitting in the sweetspot eyes closed.
Casual: Anything from sitting at the PC in the dining room to walking around the house doing things.

However I'm really a rather fortunate individual because the sound of my system changes very, very little as I move about the room it's in and what's even better is the fact that I have only a couple of small "walls" that extend about 3ft from the back wall and run floor to ceiling at both ends of the kitchen, which is what seperates the audio room from the dining room on the other end where my PC is situated. So essentially except for those 3ft long walls nothing seperates the audio room from the kitchen and the kitchen from the dining room.

So if I want to sit at the PC and visit audio forums, peruse eBay or Audiogon or research an audio topic I just turn up the volume a couple of dBs and the only thing that really changes is I loose the soundstage and imaging. Remember I said earlier the sound of my system changes very, very little as I move about the room? Well that holds true when I change rooms as well! In fact that was a very informative lesson, because I've learned that I can often better judge the sonic virtues of my, as well as others audio systems from the next room!

Sometimes I even prefer sitting at the dining room table listening to music, because when I'm not concentrating on soundstage and imaging, I focus more on sound quality. Sometimes when I really crank the tunes it sounds like I'm in a bar with a band playing off to my left and that's intersting to experience at home!
