2. misc-audio
  3. 1066499039

Rate these on order of importance:

In getting the best sound what, in general terms, what is the order of importance among the following items?

1. The room (treatments, size, etc.)
2. The power (conditioning, power, power cords)
3. The connections(cables, etc.)
4. The source (analog, digital, etc.)
5. The speakers (including subs)

Thanks, this should be interesting.

Bad speakers in a great room will sound as poor as great speakers in terrible room. A great source feeding bad speakers will sound just as poor as a bad source feeding great speakers, etc. etc.

What you ask is impossible. It is called a system for a reason, and that includes the room.

1,5,4,2,3,IMHO. BTW, you seem to have ignored how to drive the speakers (amp/preamp/integrated). I would rate this group (6) less important than the source, but more important than your 2&3.

Ditto John's rankings, and I agree fully with Herman's comments.
