Not possible, unless you have wall hanging tapestries or 4 or 5 settees you have to great a % of hard surfaces for sound acoustics to be good. The difference soft stuff(including humans) makes is amazing. I do the sound desk at our local church and the difference in how it sounds based on the number of people is astonishing.( I learnt the trade at Uni and have mixed for quite a few decent stars including Desmond Decker and others.)

I also spent a lot of time( my first job) in hifi setting up very expensive HiFi systems in people's houses and tuning sounds to match expectations and room acoustics. Go to any decent HiFi shop and look at the listening rooms, I bet every one is carpeted with a large settee and probably a couple of curtains.

Anyway, what you got?

I just swapped out my HiFi Quad amp for a Onkyo SR605, fronted by Key iQ5SE's. I've a nice pair of Kef Cresta 3's for rears ( I used to sell Onkyo stuff when it first came to teh UK, t'was very good even then. and I've always liked teh Kef 'sound')
