1. Read and follow the speaker maker's instructions on placement. Very

I have read the links that Klaus posted earlier. They are all about the
problems faced by equipment designers trying to establish exactly which
measurable parameters really affect the reproduction quality - and how
to measure them and which measurement values are better or worse.
This is all fine
Reading through this thread and several other threads here in the
Audiophiles section I've noticed similar pattern running through these
threads.
On one side there are the people who claim to hear differences in the
sound of their system as a result of all kinds of tweaks. These
differences range

If there is something better(lower distortion, flatter freq response,
good off axis response) then it WILL show in the measurements.
the problem is.. nobody knows how to listen, or knows even the basics
of sound reproduction, much less DIGITAL AUDIO.
