Sal1950 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Chris, I'm extremly jealous, congratulations. One question, when you open those doors does your soundstage deepen?

Somehow, the distinction got blurred and some try to recreate the studio acoustics. Maybe, i got confused with Chris’s intention.

Not sure I can agree on the logic behind these two posts. But once again we fall back to the ideal between designing a system for accuracy or tuning to a personal preference. IMHO I believe the journey should begin with a path that leads to the most accurate, transparent package the builder can accomplish A system most capable of reproducing that which the artist and producer intended. After that tuning to a preference is a piece of cake. The Computer Audiophile 1 "The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years.

What matters to the listeners is the how real is the sound as listened in a real space. In who's opinion? If it's your system then your opinion is all that matters. But that has little to nothing to do with reproducing what the engineer heard and what he hoped you would be able to recreate.
