Measurements, EQ, and what we actually hear

[James]

As I said, there are a few things I hear that I'd like to improve a bit. And my wife hears at least a few of the things I hear, so she'd also hear improvements (she just doesn't care as much as I do about it).

I've exhausted the placement possibilities, and the two Tri-Traps are all we can reasonably use in our living room. They did make an audible difference - reduced some of the room mode resonances and cleaned up the sound a bit higher up as well.

After going through more speakers than I can easily list, and loving the Towers, the last thing I'd want to do is get different speakers (which would be much more expensive than what I'm considering).

Thanks for your advice and good wishes.
