You can create great S.Q. in a living room.... But it is way more difficult...
And it is not because many people cannot own a dedicated room that this truth can be erased from thread:
It is not the cost of the gear who gives us S.Q. but acoustic....
The only luxury in audio is a room, not a 100,000 bucks system...
I apologize for repeating this truth...
But i cannot boast about a piece of gear i dont upgrade nor buy anything i prefer to make my devices with junk...
But this acoustical truth is not said by much people here...is not it?
It is my excuse .... And i can mute myself and let others speak about everything save this important acoustic discovery for me for sure...
😁😊
My best to you....
As mentioned in this thread already, many of us do not have a dedicated room (as much as we probably wish we did).
So we have to do the best we can with what we have.
I have a setup as mentioned, media cabinet right in the middle of the speakers.
But at least I was able to get rid of the coffee table (was able to convince the wife that we hardly ever have guests, no use of the coffee table), so now there is nothing between my seating position and the equipment/speakers.
I so wish I had a dedicated room.
