If you really want to make a name in the market, find a way to combine the technical aspects of sound acoustics with interior design. Trust me, for those of us who have significant others who like to have a say in the living room, play room, game room, etc. get someone to figure this out and you will double your sales. Man caves are great for personal entertainment and sound quality...but are you going to invite your guests and their wives to your man cave?
I can prove your room is bad
So you want to upgrade? You want to know what the next big thing is you can do for a better sounding experience?
Try this. Pull up a chair 2' in front of your speakers. If you can't move the speakers, put it up to just 1, and listen for yourself.
The difference between what you hear sitting in front of the speaker like this, and what you hear at your normal location is all in the speaker dispersion and room acoustics. If you feel mesmerized, entranced, and wowed by your speaker at 2' but not 8' you really should consider improving the room, and if you can't, consider getting speakers with alternative room coupling, like ESL's, line arrays, bi-polars, etc.
That is all,
Erik
