Dear Jfrech: It is something easy to try and with nothing ( almost ) to loose that could give you a nice/good " reward ".

If you can please return with your experiences about.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Grant: Great audio " toy " you own, congratulations!.

Not many people cares about ( maybe because money and know-how. Rives is a expensive choice. ) the main/primary " subject " to enjoy music in home systems: room-system synergy.
I know that everyone of us have or would like to grow-up/improve/up-date our room-system synergy over time, I know that the rewards are worth it.

Of course that not many of us have the opportunity to have a dedicate audio room where the room treatment is more " easy " because the system is not on the living room.

From what are my audio experieces on audio I found that the seat position is very important too but one point of that seat position is where we seat in, I mean in a comfortable couch like the one in the picture or in a " plain "/simple single ( not to much comforting ) wood chair.
Why am I touching this subject?, well the " couch " is part of the audio system and " take " some part of the sound, even if we seat with our back touching the rear of the couch we can hear a little different if we seat in that couch but a little on the front of the couch, now if instead that use the couch and we seat in that simple chair ( where we are not surrounding by nothing by space: free space. ) we hear and feel some differences in the music/sound reproduction, at least this is what I experienced in many different audio systems.

Grant, do you already try it?, as better is an audio system ( like yours one ) the difference for the better is higher. Obviously that those differences are system dependent and according to the priorities of each person.

Anyway, it is only something that it could be interesting and I want to share with you and other Agoner's.

regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
