Worthy tweaks: 1. Read and follow the speaker maker's instructions on placement. Very few <decent> speakers are designed to sound correct jammed into corners or close to a back or side wall. If the speakers don't have instructions, get better speakers. If you are forced to place speakers based-on aesthetic appeal, you might want to consider what other compromises you are making in your life.
2. Disengage the "loudness" button and bypass or neutralize any tone controls or equalizers. "Source" and "Volume" are the only True Controls. Active equalization in modern sub-woofer applications have an exemption. 3. If you MUST worry about supply A/C, worry that your supply current is sufficient and that grounding and polarity are correct. Have an electrician set a dedicated breaker to your stereo rather than subscribing to power cable mummery. I have a power amp on the bottom of my Kappa 9's that was eating 6 amp fast blow fuses faster than a teenager eats Tic Tacs. When I moved from that house (60 amps total service/aluminum wiring) to my current home, the cure was effected. 4. Avoid any product containing the word "Monster." Avoid any salesman or vendor that points, gestures, or suggests any product containing the word "Monster." 5. If you want to be sure your interconnects are good enough, keep them away from power cables and you'll be just fine. 6. Rotate your tires.
