At least they look really cool

Prologue: make sure you have enough amp for your speakers and your intended listening volume. Consider that you need more headroom when you start to add gain on the EQ. 1. Direct sound. EQ your speakers for flat on axis response (not including reflectections from the room!), then make sure they...

I have seen worse, but this is not really a textbook frequency response...

I looked at some measurements of those speakers... I'd say they would very much benefit from eq'ing based on anechoic or quasi anechoic (gated) measurements with the aim to get a flat on axis response. I never touch anything over 500hz based on measurements taken at listening position in room...

To me it still looks like the speakers are placed much closer to the left wall, but maybe that is just how it looks in the photo?

I would think the corner/left wall is your issue. You could absolutely do something about the ceiling, but... you know, the first wall reflection from the left speaker is going to be very close to the speaker itself, so if you could put something that is at least sonewhat effective down to...

Ok, my guess: The left hand wall will reflect a lot of energy arriving very soon after the direct on axis sound from your speakers and introduce a lot of comb filtering. EQ will not solve this, if you eq for total comfortable mid-treble energi, the direct sound will be compromised at these...

There are no "mainstream" DACs. Personally I don't think you should have to buy a discrete DAC anyways. There are some AVRs reviewed. My impression, but maybe times have changed, but onkyo, pioneer, denon, marantz, yamaha etc AVRs is the mainstream for those with aspirations beyond soundbars or...

Well, what can I tell you :)

I can assure you there are beaches in sweden, and Swedes live to go to lakes or archepelago cliffs etc after a long and dark winter :) Swedish summer weather is unpredictable, but it can be really warm and sunny. Öland:

Just to be clear; what I wrote was based on what I've seen people write about music, not that they are so obsessed with the gear that they can't have love for music. And I again would like to point out, I think it's totally fine if someone loves audio electronics even if that someone has no...

It can surely be both, and that's a nice story.

I don't know tbh, when reading posts on many "audiophile" forums I find myself question if the actual music is that important for a lot of people from time to time... and I even feel like the music some people play is stuff that they play just because it makes their systems sound good... but...

Yeah, I don't know... I don't do that. I discover new music all the time though, I go to live shows. I like to get in to the technical stuff, and I am annoyed that people in general for whom music is such a big part of life totally neglect their systems. But that's it. I'd like to do more diy...

Sounds cumbersome. Personally I enjoy listen to recordings, but whatever floats your boat.

Character should be in the recordings, not the system.

Seems like we are converging

Yes, a limit of practical implementation.

Well it is made in two steps. First typically zero order hold or similar, then low pass filtering. Combined they are an approximation of sinc interpolation.

Yes, exactly. I mean, there are many different ways, but what we always try to achieve is to get as close to the sinc/brickwall interpolation as possible. Mathematically, in the end.
