Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!


So many audiophiles have commented that when your room treatment is completed, your electronics set up and tweaked and most importantly, your speakers are set up in your listening space correctly that you'll know it because everything just sounds so "right" and natural.  I just accomplished that feat in the last two weeks.  I say two weeks because I needed to play a wide variety of recordings to be sure that I'm there.  It is so great to have finally hit just the right set up.

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that it has taken me well over a year of experimentation to get to this point.  It's not that other placements yielded poor quality sound its just that now everything sounds like a live event (as much as any of our systems can).

I would really appreciate hearing about your journey to the promised land of audiophile/music lover bliss.  How long did it take, what were the most difficult aspects of the journey?  And if you have yet to get there, what do  you think is the "brick in your wall"?

Every room is different with different challenges to overcome acoustically.

 I finally had to have Jim Smith come out and voice my room.  Move a lot around, took 7 hours but the difference was beyond words.  
Very emotional experience listening in that room today...

I know this thought is not unique to me as many A'Goners have mentioned this on other threads.  I've been in this listening room for 25+ years.  Regardless of all the locations I try for my speakers, they end up in pretty much the same spot.  That may, in part, be because I have only had Vandersteen's in that room.  In any event, where the Treo CT's are now seems to be the place I always end up regardless of speaker model.🤔
