If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?

Yeah you may need an absorption panel if your room is completely open, ie. No rug or furniture, ie just lonely single chair. But if your system can't cut it in any room then it's a system problem and you should be able to discern a good system regardless of the room.  Unless you put it on the roof of your apartment building but the Beatles seemed to have survived that effort

I think people go nuts with all this absorption acoustical room treatment stuff and it looks kind of awful.  Once in a while you see a really cool looking diffuser panel and I would definitely want one. But to have a system that works really well without any of the acoustical panel distractions is a wonderful thing.

I'm old school and will never care for the room treatment.  Will there be an improvement? I don't know  My ears are my ears, and if it sounds good I'm happy.  I have a Luxman 590AXII with Silverline Sonata II, I use the Emotiva HC1 monoblocks to switch up here and there to compare, I can say difference of $8,000 is barely notice.

Seriously you are complaining about leaf blowers? Then you attempt to add credence by discussing bird numbers. Perhaps you can get a grant. Please no more!

 do you not recognize that use of a leaf blower which can be easily heard within someone's home is terribly disruptive to listening.

Thankfully no one uses them at night. People have no idea how awful it is to listen to these things all the time and yet they use their leaf blowers to pristinely clear away grass blades from their driveways because they're too lazy to use a broom.

It's a huge problem that's driving away birds and increasing pollen count. 

My family talks about putting me away all the time. But I won't go.

These extreme opposing viewpoints over such a short period of time are concerning and almost schizophrenic like.

+1!

Then do what I did and move to the country. Some state or city is banning gas powered blowers in favor of electric. They walked through the seas of homeless people getting this petition signed.
