Improve Acoustics
Although your new high-end speakers provide lossless audio, the true impact gets lost if you have too many hard surfaces in your listening room. They cause an echo in the sound. Instead, improve acoustics in the room by adding carpets, rugs, curtains, acoustic wall treatments, or other sound-absorbing features.
Move Your Speakers
Speakers should be spaced away from each other - about eight feet of separation for floorstanding speakers - and two to three feet from the nearest walls. If you can, mount your speakers on stands to elevate the sound away from the floor. But a secret to great sound is in the placement of your subwoofer. There’s not an exact science to perfect subwoofer placement. Instead, try moving it around the room until you are happy with the sound quality - you'll be surprised what a difference that can make.
Play with the Settings
We know your mom probably told you not to play with things because they might break, but in this instance, playing around is necessary to find the perfect satisfying sound quality you imagined. Use your amplifier to change up frequencies, output locations, and more. Many amplifiers have room-correcting technology that can automatically adjust the speakers to the perfect setting.
