Popular Post MetalNuts Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 IMHO, the speakers are the ultimate equipment to produce the sound character I want and I do not expect a LS 3/5a to produce earth quake like bass frequency. However, it does not matter how good my equipment is, whether my system sounds good (to me) depends on the source which I do not mean the CD player/ network player / dac but the discs/files. A crappy recording can hardly be made sounding good in any reasonable system. Teresa and Mordikai 1 1 MetalNuts Link to comment

Ina an ideal room even a $500 speakers could sound really good compared to $10000 speakers in a bad room. Get your room acoustics right first and only then go for speakers upgrade. You may be right in terms of the place you live but I am not wrong in the place I live. I am living in a place where the real property is amongst the highest on planet earth. The option of having a reasonable space for placing hifi equipment is limited to very few persons. Only after resolving the limited space, room acoustics will come to consideration.

Tolerance level can be determined mathematically or just by listening. It is usually around 0.4 to 0.5seconds (RT60) for most small rooms. Ideally, it should be more than 1.5 seconds. Use this calculator. It does not appear to me that you are living in the place I live, so how small is your room? Before you know how small the living room we have in our place, would it be too arbitrary to disagree with me. As I said it may be true to you that you found acoustic the most important but it is not wrong for me to consider it less important. Are you saying that you are compelling other to concur with you? LOL! MetalNuts Link to comment
MetalNuts Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 2 hours ago, STC said: I am just stating the scientifically accepted values of RT60. Preference can vary but high fidelity not. There are 2 types of persons, one being idealistic, one being practical. I, being the latter. Being restrained and confined by the space I have, I do not consider it practical to use resources into solving an extremely difficult if not impossible room space. Yes, you may be right there will be improvement but I do not consider it worthwhile to use quadruple or more effort to improve just a little bit. Further, different items (not equipment) will be added/removed placed here and there and it does not make sense to me at all. The only acoustic that I need which I can think of is to reduce the sound leaking to my neigbour next door. MetalNuts Link to comment

So what's the point? What room effect? Have you listened in my place? Who told you that I am suffering not enjoying the music from my system. Are you listening to room effect and not the music from your system? Whereas it is your belief that no room acoustic treatment is mandatory, mine is not. How many people here consider priority of acoustic treatment over the equipment? I try to refrain myself from believing you are arbitrary to without actually living in our place and without listening in my place but compelling others to concur with your belief but your repeated replies confirm that you are.
