One of the best tweaks I've made is to raise my speakers 1 inch using those auralex pads. I can't tell if the padding does anything (things certainly sound more detailed to me though and I seem to be able to put the volume up much higher without getting complaints) but I think just having the tweeters slightly above ear level makes a big difference in the smoothness of the speakers (I apologize for not being proficient with audiophile jargon)



A while back I put some rubber stoppers under my bookshelf speakers and angled them toward my ears and that made a difference, too. Also, it changed the way my speakers interacted with the room. For some reason the bass became a lot less overwhelming. Another example of a small change and big difference.
