I think I really underestimate what the effect of room acoustics is on sound systems. I recently cleaned out my lab in the basement of my home and set up a stereo system in it ( Kaiji, BeePree, ANK DAC, Sonus streamer, DIY 8in fostex full range driver speakers).
Previously all these components were in my main system upstairs. My current main set up sounds better than the components when I used them in my living room. When I fired up the lab system I was blown away by how different and better it sounded than when they were used my main system. The only difference being the rooms. The lab is a basement room with all the furnishing/hvac equipment mostly along the wall and a normal ceiling height. My living room has high vaulted ceiling, very open to the rest of the floor with large windows, and more cluttered with furniture. Not sure what type of room treatment would help and be doable in my situation. Anyone have any good reference to read about room treatment?
Thanks
