An alternative and good addition to 'Better' is 'Sound Reproduction' from Floyd Toole. I am partial to the idea that 95% of 'better sound' lies in the speakers, placement and room treatment. Matching a speaker to a room is where the hard work lies. I enjoyed 'Better' and 'Sound'. Trial and error (?), no just keep tweaking the room/treatment. Spend time in getting a good room analyis via free computer software and 'see' what you hearing. Understanding 'sound' is the hardest part of this hobby.
