speakers

I was noodling on another ASR thread which ultimately took me to a 2004 TED Talk by a guy named Woody Norris who claimed to have invented the Hypersonic Speaker. I seem to recall a lot of buzz - perhaps fifteen years ago - about how these speakers would soon be ubiquitous in retail spaces...

I'm trying to figure out ways to improve the dynamics (transients) of my system for two channel listening. I'm running B&W 704 S2 mains off a Parasound A31 through a Yamaha CX-A5200. It seems my system lacks midrange punch like the snap of a snare etc. I kinda feel like it may be a room...
