Isolation pads for the speaker stands
The bass never changed..the spectral balance and dynamics changed. The sand and soft materials suck the life right out of thin air resulting in a dark and deaden sound..No air, what you have left is the perception of more bass and less of the musi... 
Upgrading Fuses
Replaced all the fuses in my system sometime back with neodymium magnets..No fires..only thing that glows is much more music. Tom 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Mechanical grounding is the main component, basis and foundation for dynamic expression. Material choice and geometry dictate the collection speed and termination of all things that are in motion...which is everything. Most audio devices are over ... 
MOSFET's vs Bipolar's
Belles uses Exicon lateral power mosfets..Luminance Audio used the Hitachi lateral power mos fets. Tom 
MOSFET's vs Bipolar's
Lateral power Mosfets from Exicon can be drop in replacements for many types of devices supplied by Toshiba and Hitachi. The Exicons supply 30% greater current have much greater speed and lower capacitance. In my particular amp they increased reso... 
RFI from steel TV bracket?
Ground loop from your cable tv or sat box. Unhook the coax cable from the source tv direct/cable box or sat and turn everything else back on and take a listen. Tom

My auditory receptors communicated to my brain most recently that when I installed a pair of .68 Clarity Cap MR's directly across the 12 volt input of my hybrid Altmann multi dac that I was hearing more air molecules in my listening room. In fact ...

Same applies to the rack or chassis of any other audio component. By..some more. Tom

A room acts as a capacitor. How it may sound is dependent upon the choice or combination of reactive and resistive materials. Throw in your choice of geometry,alter the air pressure adjust the dynamic tension and listen to the signal flow. That's ...

My experience is that with the Sistrum Sp4 rack between my speakers it actually improved the overall sound of my system. Images are clearly more defined and stable as if now anchored to the floor or into open airy space. The rack is totally adjust...

I found recently that carpet pile and weave make a very big difference as does foam or jute under layment. Just like a capacitor. Tom

A room is a form of a storage capacitor..Jburidan your right. I will keep it off this page. Tom

I would need a drawing and or photos. If it is L shaped can you have one larger room walled off from the smaller area? Also need description of ceiling and hvac and plumbing that may interfere. Need to know the location of structural posts and bea... 
Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7
With a test tone selected, played at the same frequency as the chosen crossover point of the subs, and while using a calibrated mic and RTA display you can easily set the phase of two subs to gain the best in room response. Adjusting the phase adj...

Nor do they have the room to properly setup two subs. Tom
