RE: Audio, as a perfectionist hobby will drive you nuts

"They can really tighten up instrument location and decrease smearing."

Funny you should mention that. If I want to really hear the system approach what its capapble of, I have an unusual, but effective way of taming reflections and focusing the overall sound.

The room is quite "live" as the system is pracitically surrounded by windows. Both L/R walls are windows the length of the room.
Just like other home brew tweaks such as nice rugs on the wall, I have some discreet velcro strips that hold up clear shower curtains. They provide surprising damping properties and under $10 bucks.
One on the rear window is used as well.
SO tolerated since it isn't permanent. With them in place, a noticeable
notch up in realism.
