them might improve things.
But you generaly have to upgrade the whole system. So far the arial
speakers seem to me a good
value for the honest information on the web site.

One of the issues is that I have my speakers in the
same room that I use
for ensemble rehearsals. It's fairly live with a 13' ceiling and not many
soft surfaces. (no parallel surfaces though). It makes live music sound
great, but probably works against reproduced music. I note that most "home
theatre" setups are almost anechoic, with lots of carpeting, plush
furniture, etc. and I suspect most speaker systems are designed for that
type of room. Live, unamplified instrumental music would sound dead in
such a space.

just in case you have some reflection problems with really loud music or
base.
