Check with PS Audio. They are fantastic to work with. 
not impresed with my system
It’s likely the speakers. Years ago I had the BP...something’s (the biggest floor standers at the time around 1991). They were very "big & powerful" speakers, but to me the bass was way too bloomy and the midrange unrefined. I went the opposit... 
Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa?
NO. I'm going through it again. I thought I got over it. I downsized and minimized everything and was happy. I got the itch again and now I'm completely, obsessively, unreasonably immersed in the quest...

How do you negotiate a cure for wrong audio view
This is what “we” are. It's part of the obsession. Audiophiles represent a very small portion of the music-loving population. Think of the millions of people around the world who enjoy music (who doesn’t to some degree), indulge in it, pursue it w... 
room treatment effectiveness

room treatment effectiveness
