One of the happiest days of my life was when I stopped focusing on the sound and started listening to the music again.
Tell me about it........
I analyse everything I hear now since putting a subwoofer into the mix.
I've only ever liked them with films a d classical to begin with despite knowing how to set them up.
(It's not a debate I just don't like them 😲😊)
If blending them in seamless so one cant hear them y bother.
Other than that the speakers I have sound much sweeter by themselves.
My bedroom comes listening room is an odd shape and sonically terrible with echos etc that can only be nullified by plenty of toe in on the speakers to negate the echo from the t-shaped walls at one end.
Now its ok im still deeply researching room acoustics and looking at acoustic foams and rockwool etc etc.
I can't remember since a sub woofers over extension of bass pointing out an already existing problem "again" that I just put a disc in and enjoyed the music.
I know I should just let it gather more dust as I did prior but I'm not the type.
Once I find a problem (room acoustics) I have to solve it despite knowing switching the thing off would suffice.
Simply put I know it's there irrespective and I've already worn holes in the carpet repositioning things with my terrible "diagnosed OCD" further confounding things.
I'm not hearing my music at the moment just listening to it and analysing everything.
I dare'nt even mention the time I've spent on the room correction software running around the room with a microphone.
