How do you judge audio components and speakers?

Did i disrespect you ?

Then it is not necessary to add that :

And yeah, I’m talking to you!

I discuss acoustic matter... From my experiments...

Posting images has no usefulness...No room is the same ...

And my audio room is not a model , it is my location to listen and experiment...

Imagine the number of idiots who will speak to me rudely or without any respect when seeing a room with heavily modified speakers, and hundred of devices and Helmholtz resonators made with junk?

Why do you think i never add photos to my virutal page?

Did you catch?

Ignorant people associate audio experience with esthetic and price tag...

It is possible to create an audio room esthetical yes but at high cost not with junk material and homemade devices ...

But acoustic science work without price tag attached to the devices...

And if you speak to me like you just did forget me...

YEAH! i speak to you...

How to judge audio equipment?

Solely on the looks.

Just kidding. Although ... I bet quite some equipment choices get based on that.

To judge a system is largely subjective. Some like vocal jazz, some like hard rock ... they may require completely different setups.

I think @electroslacker nailed it ... if it makes you smile and feel good, then the sound is good (for you).

Oh, and reviews. I guess most of us read reviews before buying? Even though it’s a non ideal way to judge if I will like the sound, I want to know what others think of a product. I once bought a pair of earbuds solely based on reviews. Every review said they have incredible, actually unbelievable, sound for their price. I got myself a pair and guess what? They make me smile every time. Their price? Incredible indeed ... $7,95.

I finally looked at Mahgister’s system pictures…I am deeply concerned!  

I am not surprized that people judge on look...

It is not my actual system be the way... I know i could not post Helmholtz resonators made with cardboard rolls, straws. and plumbers pipes... 😁😊

This page is not my actual acoustic room...

Sometimes the post we put on the air described us...

My virtual page is a mirror...

Be concerned!

Don't lose your cold, I'm just bustin' balls.  (See I just did it again!)  And you only BB people you like.

You post a lot about what people don't understand about room acoustic that you've figured out.  Plus how misguided others are to spend so much money when your successful methods are dirt cheap and more effective.  Wouldn't a few pictures help others get to where you are?
