Please Make Audiogon Cool

The second most important piece of equipment, after the speakers, is the room.

Went to an audio show on a weekend ... room after room after room of disappointing and very very expensive systems. $30,000+ of Nordost, a $50,000 turntable, $100,000 of speakers and I have no clue how much of electronics can’t fix bad acoustics.

Maybe the room the Teac system is in is pretty tolerable such that there is nothing "awful" to distract from the music.

Sure, listening to my main system is a far step better, but I often get a lot of enjoyment from the Sonos 1's and 3's sprinkled around the house.

Why is it my ears don’t discriminate that much anymore? I’m not questioning the validity of the delicate nuances coming out of a great speaker system, but I can ALSO listen to music on just about anything.
Except- an esoteric set of components that sounds unacceptional (but the "Watts" are certainly there if you’re hosting a house party). I think we all know the disappointment of hearing a demo and have to be diplomatic with the salesman who wants you to be amazed.

Yes all for it, (not dope head, cooool man you should hear this, blows that away believe me)
Without any of the voodoo BS statements and products, that can’t be backed up with any solid EE (electronic engineering) principals, that all our equipment is designed and based on in the first place.
First decent thing you've proposed reading it my way.

Somehow I feel this thread has been hijacked, but I can't figure out where it went south.

Albuquerque.

To the postulating and posturing engineering sycophant who is searching desperately for windmills in the mirror of ego:

It would be highly appreciated by the rest of us if you would cease and desist and take your leave.

thanks
