What is the most important component in your system.
The optimal placement and positioning of the speakers in the listening environment, allowing them to pressurize the volume of air in the room and your ears as natural sounds do in life. Doing this reveals the emotional connection to the music bett... 
most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box?
I'd vote for something vintage - The Yamaha NS1000 - vapor - deposited beryllium dome mid and tweet in the 70's?!!! Pretty advanced - there are manufacturers now that don't quite have beryllium figured out. 
Speakers "Disappearing"

Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Joseph Audio Perspectives or Chario Sovrans with 2 REL S5 SHO subs, or 212SE if budget allows.  Whatever you choose figure a way to do stereo subs no matter what. 
Does It have to be loud?
As amazing and sensitive our sense of hearing is, it is insensitive to certain aspects of music at low volumes.1. Dynamic range - when you listen at low volumes, loud passages aren't loud2. Frequency extremes - our ears can't' hear deep bass frequ...

Help, my system sounds lifeless!
Go to myspeakersetup.com for a solution to your problem. Why would anyone suggest curtains and wall hangings to help deal with "lifeless" sound? Those deaden the room, don't they? 
Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp?

Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp?
I feel it's not the room that is the most important, but how the air volume of the room and your ears are pressurized by the speakers. Speaker placement is everything. I invite you to see my website - myspeakersetup.com, read ALL the articles, the...
