Tweaks and upgrades that aren't gimmicks


Hard to tell the real deal sometimes, especially when each one of us has different tastes and even most likely hear things differently. When does a new purchase substantially improve the sound consistently over and over for many users?
Let's see if we can come up with a list of things that without any doubt has improved the sound of our system.
This list can include components, cables, room treatment etc.

Instead of two stereo speakers in the front, try four identical stereo speakers (two left, and two right),(two in the center, and two outside). Play all four at the same volume so no separate attenuator will be needed. Angle the center speakers outward until the whole wall lights up as one picture of sound. At present your wall probably sounds like it has two "bright" spots with a hole in the center. If you think two speakers give you all of the detail, separation, and focus that you need, you are going to be in for quite a surprise when you try four. There are no gimmicks involved. It's only two channel sound, but it sounds better than SACD using digital decoders. That's my two cents worth.
