"Abercrombie & Fitch," and "Hollister Co." sound systems.

Question

Three years ago this December, I started a project; a complete redesign of my bedroom. I Knew what I wanted immediately. I wanted to convert my bedroom, into a kind of “Abercrombie & Fitch,” and “Hollister Co.“ hybrid. So two years, and almost four thousand dollars later, I had succeeded. The only thing that I was not completely satisfied with, was my stereo system. I had purchased a moderately priced Phillips home theatre system, only to discover, that there was no possible way to produce the same sound out of each speaker equally, like at a Hollister, or Abercrombie. Does anyone know how I can perfect this? I am almost willing to purchase a new system if necessary. Is there a system out there, like the one’s at - preferably - Hollister? I would like to know, if not for my bedroom, for any future projects. Considering the fact that my local Hollister opened one year into my project, my bedroom actually is more of an Abercrombie theme, and I had to add a few Hollister elements at the last minute. So, my next project, will be completely Hollister themed. So if anyone knows anything about an audio system that will allow me to produce the same sound out of each speaker equally, in which I can purchase, please let me know.

Answer 1

You might as well face it that you're not going to be able to match the sound at A&F using a $500 home surround sound system compared to the more than 30 Meyer Sound speakers at over $2000 each.

If you have a decent 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 home theater system then you should be able to adjust each of the speakers volume independently.  You may also be able to adjust tone and delay to each speaker or at least overall tone and delay between the front and rear speakers.  

If your system can't adjust volume to each speaker independently then that would be the first thing I would look for.  If you've got independent volume control and have already followed instructions on one of the many website about setting up speakers to get optimum sound quality and still not satisfied then you may need to get a 5 channel graphic equalizer to give you better tone control over the different speakers.
