I find your comment about the visual aspect of the bookcase interesting. I have noticed that listening with my eyes closed is a different experience than keeping them open. When they are open I can better visualize the placement of players and singers within the soundstage.However, looking at all my equipment is a bit distracting as well. I wonder if anyone has done any testing to determine the impact of the visual aspect of a listening room on the sound experience. I have thought of putting some sort of curtain behind my Quads just to see if the apparent soundfield changes at all. This aspect of room design seems to be ignored due to the need to actually see the equipment you've spent so many thousands of dollars to accumulate.PS: Thanks for the blog - I always like to see real people dealing with real situations!
