I'm going to give away a secret (some of you may already know it)... if you want an instant upgrade to your current system do this:
sit in the sweet spot, cup you ear lobes forward with your hands (you can adjust their positioning and amount of concaveness to suit) and most of all... close your eyes.
Many years ago I thought of developing a set of adjustable clip on 'ear lobe cuppers' but never got around to it (I think I saw a similar idea/product in a hi-fi magazine once). It's basically a form of room treatment, but it's a pain to have to keep holding your hands up and holding your ears lobes forward for an hour or two (or even for 3 minutes)!
However, closing your eyes is easy and increases you ability to hear detail by about 50%. A sleep mask can also be substituted for the closing of the lids and may be more relaxing for some.
