I agree that the room makes a huge difference, and with that, all the other factors as well, (person, equipment, quality and materials used, etc..... the list goes on)
Do what I did, make sure you have all of your bases covered, and do everything to the best of your abilities/budget and you'll have a great sounding system.
A great system in a bad sounding room sounds
worse than a good system in a great room.
The louder you listen- the more things vibrate.
The less things vibrate, the louder you can listen!
A good system, properly set up, will sound better than a great system, poorly set up.
The Three common denominators that have the greatest effect on how good, or bad, the sound is from your existing system, let alone any component you insert into it are:
MAINS conditioning
Vibration control
Room treatment
Until you address these areas, you will never know how good, or bad, your existing system is!
