What else can I expect?

...diminishing returns, were the amount spent is hardly justified by perceived improvement...and make note of that word "perceived"...I won't go any further on this subject, in this particular forum, lest I get smacked on the pee-pee, suffice it to say the whole "listening experience" is built on illusion and one's "perception"...

Further expenditure on stereo gear MAY provide more power, better low frequency extension, that sort of thing...then of course further expense(according to some) should be in the form of "hospital grade" AC outlets, aftermarket power cords, line conditioners, dedicated power circuits, cable bridges...but we are getting back to "perception" again...

...and they are vastly different.

The first would be to embark on making your room sound better by analyzing the room acoustics. This can range from the very simple like rugs or drapes and can get quite complex. Let it be known that there is no such thing as an acoustically perfect room so it is likely that you can improve in this area.

My second suggestion is a bit more off the wall. And that would be to begin playing music by learning an instrument and gathering with friends to jam in the garage. I have found this sort of activity to be even more enjoyable than listening to music and really when you have a bit of experience playing with other guys, you tend to listen to other people's music with a different perspective.
