Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.

Lone mountain, live music is what it is, and sometimes really great sq.

i am talking about crappy studio efforts. Accoustic treatments will improve crappy recordings, but wont make all crappiness go away.

I haven't read the whole thread for a long time. but since I'm an acoustic engineer, I can only say one thing to the OP.
how stupid is ignorance

 Sure it was posted by Troll otherwise ^ stupid is as stupid does.

What amazes me is that such a blatantly ignorant and bellicose original post has garnered 4 pages of replies.  Why do people come here and do this?  Seems so pointless.

I love reading this thread.  Its really clear window into the real world of home audio: part misinformation, some hearsay, some reality.   For example, the idea that you can "fix" anything in your playback system about a recording is impossible.  You can change it, for sure, but its like cables, who knows what is "correct"?  I have the unique benefit of walking into the famous LA studios and knowing what the room sounds like and talking to the engineer who built the record and understanding the sound of the pro gear he used to make it.  I walk the hi fi shows and I can tell you its a very rare day when I hear a playback system sound ANYTHING like the recording.
