I see a lot of chat here about components, but not much about EQing a room. Is the belief that hifi audio systems should rely solely on the output of their components? I added a mixer with parametric EQ to my rig and it really allowed me to improve the sound quality…

    Besides the components which you can buy and replace, 3 most important things for me -

    • finding the right room and right place in the room to minimize uneven sound absorption/reflection
    • room treatment - depending upon what is possible in the room, do the best for room treatment to further reduce effects of room on sound reflection.
    • run equalization - my current receiver supports Audyssey - not the best and doesn’t have ideal results but still better than non-EQ’d room. (I mostly use FLAT and no Dynamic EQ)

    Further, it may take couple of iterations of the above 3 steps to get the best possible results.
