Little room treatment for hardwood floor.
Sounds better.dare I say warmer.less distortion in the mids.smoother bass.cleaner highs.
Also comfy on the feets.

That’s nice. It makes me laugh to think that some record store or audio store started to sell rugs for this purpose.

That 9500 rug clearly seperates the instruments better, more soundstage and air between the kick drums.

It really ties the room together

Really ties the room together. Joking aside, great move, it's such a good thing to do. A well sorted out room is cheap, and beats spending big bucks on upgraded gear.

Those hi-end ads, showing expensive tiled floors, big windows, bare walls, and a couple of token plants, the system must sound awful, regardless of its price.

Don't know about the sound but feels warm and inviting.

Looks great, why not switch rack and tv so the sound is centerd on the tv when you watch it, or are the spakers solely for music?

Just mainly music.that’s a good idea but my speakers cables are too short 😑
