Acoustical Voodoo

At least there is one...

For me it's the same with the living room. My wife would go mad on big speakers...so I went 2 floors upstairs but even that will not be of continuance I apprehend  .

So you have to 'trinnov' as I see in your signature. I only auditioned the trinnov 2 times on a fair so far. Is it a big loss of the room mapping of the original recording?

That's a tough question to answer because I have never really heard the "original recording". Only how it plays back on my system.  

My perception is that the Trinnov defiantly enhances the imaging of the sound-stage. The localization of the instruments and vocals is much clearer and defined. This is an attribute which I personally find appealing but realize it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Really recommend auditioning one at home if you have that possibility. Perhaps you have a local dealer who could make a house visit?  I was fortunate enough to find one.  It is a substantial investment (at least for my pocketbook) and I can imagine that the margin of difference the device makes depends a lot on your individual preferences, system and listening room.
