People dont know that acoustic is an experimental and pure science.. Not less sophisticated and cxomplex than electronical engineering... At best some will buy bass traps and 2 panels... 😁😊 They will call it acoustic treatment...
They think that the amplifier and speaker design is what they listen to first and last ...
The room is for them an almost neutral empty shell with no relation to what they hear and the room cost nothing anyway, then for them had no power to change the S.Q. compared to their shiny new costly amplifier or beautiful speakers..
This is consumerism conditioning...
My system value is 500 bucks..
And my S.Q. /price ratio is over the roof because and almost ONLY because of acoustic treatment and especially acoustic control...
Nothing can beat acoustic power in audio...Certainly not the speakers by themselves alone...
