A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
I'm more of a "I don't exist. Therefore I'm not."( Buddhist-style).It's great to hear a professional room-fixer's point of view.Thanks. 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
I can see that one consensus is that the room and room treatment are vital. I haven't worked on this since I feel a bit hopeless that my very complex, difficult common area (where the speakers have to be) isn't salvageable. And I'm not actually un...

Oh, I forgot. My handle was a hastily chosen thing I could remember. I didn't realize I'd continue being on here when I went on to ask a question. It's an old employee number I remember easily from when i worked for a big HMO.I was a car guy back ...
