My system changes have been in the room treatment area. Blocking off the windows in the front half of the room plus relocating the carpet so the (heretofore-too-short) speaker spikes actually touch the floor and moving the speakers back seems to have significantly improved bass response and definition and makes the sound "livelier";I'm also raising the floor on the back half of the room (to make it level with the kitchen floor) which will allow 2nd row seating with unobstructed view of the display. I'm also apparently getting better bass impact in the second row but this may because the surround speakers are coupling "better" (?) through the wooden raised floor. This probably slightly compromises hi-rez multichannel. Adding HT seating would more seriously compromise MC audio.
