Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design!
"Well that's because speakers are not made from real musicians" I am pretty sure that woud be a capital offense in all 50 states.  
Making speakers “disappear”…..
Get This  Isotek The Ultimate System Set-Up Disc Takes a lot of time (unless you can get an assiatant) but it made a huge difference in my room. Lickily it's in my basement on a conctere floor, so I can mark the exact location and angle of each ... 
The problem with PLC
There is realyy no justification of calling the OP names. No one is forcing you to read the tread. (Clockwork Orange) That is why I quit after the first obnoxiuos response.

What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had?
Boston Acoustics T-830 series II speakers circa 1993. Still sound great! Stax SR4/SRD40, although it seemed like a fortune to a kid just starting his career in 1975.  
Shave your CDs
I think the more relevant issue is comparing the objective measurement with the "expert" reviews. Measurement=no difference "Audiophile journalist=more transparency, pace, and other unmeasurable BS. Does it discredit the reviewers or prove that ...
