It seems to me it takes awhile to determine what sounds better. Listening to a variety of music at different times & volumes.
My brother-in-law is a long time quasi low budget audiohpile. Meaning a $10,000 system instead of $30,000. Unbeleivable sound. He spent a lot of time moving his 200 pound Dunlavy towers a half an inch this way and that, marking positions with masking tape on the floor and then listening and measuring.
Listening at his place is what got us interested in hifi. It completely changed my experience of what music can be. It showed me how important positioning can be. Difficult too, when your room is used for other purposes. He puts nothing into a visually attractive setup, its all about the sound.
I'll be interested in hearing about your experiences over time.
