OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.

I just posted my two systems here at home last week on Audiogon - if you look I am sure you will see which lamp was moved. I will let you all know how it works out - I am hopeful she will also hear the difference! 

My Better Half is home - just ran some Eva Cassidy - good reaction.

now running The Rolling Stones - GRRR - Can’t Always Get What You Want.

I am getting a good feeling the LAMP has successfully been moved out of the Soundstage!

Enjoy the Music!!

The Middle Aged White Guy has won one!

Thanks for your support!!

Soix - that is a great idea for my Maggie 1.7is but I do not want to push my luck!

They are already 2.7feet from the back wall and sound amazing.

God Bless and enjoy the music!

God Bless you all for the comments - just an update - I did not sleep in the Garage last night - amazing what a good steak dinner and a bottle of wine does to bring peace and harmony to our home - we also watched her ‘Brit Shows’ last night 

The offending lamp is permanently moved out of the soundstage!!

Thank you all for your support!

my clincher move - ‘Honey, this is way better than a set of Maggie 3.7is.

enjoy the music

Just an update - had my audiophile friend (and his wife) over yesterday - he confirmed my analysis - moving the dam- lamp opened up the soundstage on the left channel speaker and really balanced the left and right channel output for a variety of music .Both wives confirmed the soundstage was larger, and better detail in multiple songs played were easy to hear. My speakers are Maggie 1.7is and I also have a Maggie bass panel behind the left channel speaker. I have been moving the DWM and I have strengthened the bass response as well on my system. I have also found the pillows on the couch can affect the sound.

this has been a very fruitful adventure in improving my system’s sound. 
 

I just want to thank everyone on this site for helping educate me in my hobby and love of music! 

I now need to do the grocery shopping - still trying to keep the wife happy!

In my wife’s defense - the offending lamp is part of a matched pair we bought together on a trip to Hong Kong in 1982. The lamp is pierced porcelain and hand painted with birds - that is why is was left at the wrong end of the couch for the last 18 years. Everyone now agrees it is on the left end of the couch - out of the Soundstage!! God Bless Compromise!

My hole song books are AMAZING now! Listing to Joe Bonamassa - Anton Fig can play drums !!! Joe can make a guitar CRY!

And I am still married to the same woman after 46 years this May!

Happy Listening
