I've never enjoyed my audio system as much. It sounds so wonderful, and once clear and also deep, both spacious and holographic. The latest phase of measurement-based time alignment and phase correction, while still not perfect, is good enough to be a vast improvement over anything I've had before, and almost everything I've heard elsewhere.
And I can and do enjoy it anywhere in my small house, which couples well acoustically to the living room, and an advantage in having a small house.
And I can turn on and off the system from push buttons all over the house. And now I don't even have to bother picking music, which I could hardly even do once a month, but have a computer program for doing that too. So I can effortlessly have endless music, wonderful but mostly rarely if ever played before, playing. The Classical FM station has also been fixed (with my successful prodding) and I often listen to that also, as it's the easiest thing to select via a single push button.
I've been recording albums I haven't heard in decades, and making nice pop-removed (using the Audacity "repair" function, which works perfectly on tiny transients) transcriptions that sound more wonderful than playing the discs live (because I can play back louder than when I made the recording, with no fear, and it's now it's the same exact bits as I would have been listening to then, though lacking the variation on each replay that the phonograph system makes inevitable).
I've tried listening to a playlist of all my "other" music, the music not suitable for background music because it's too loud or has words, and to my pleasant suprise, THAT mostly works as background music too. I generally don't mind having Beatles or Pink Floyd playing in the background, and it often draws me in for a serious listen.
And I'm accumulating lists of other music to explore, which I can do conveniently through my Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions.
One such list just appeared in the NYTimes, which mentions a lot of interesting artists and musicians.
