How do you judge audio components and speakers?

These fans are remnants of past experiences years ago ... you have no clue about my ACTUAL audio room.. Why do you stick on these old images?

And you know nothing save sarcasm... I apologized to you post above because i think i was rude... 😁😊

You know nothing in acoustic, what is a reflective surface ? What do you think aluminum do for a part of the spectrum?

Ok forget me, i dont discuss with idiot that mock me..And i dont like free sarcasms from someone who think he knows better and who is manifestly ignorant ..

No more apology...

Let’s assume your speakers are already well damped. A good design by the manufacturer. You say I’m simplistic, but you have made a complex mess.

By the way do you think it is difficult to put concrete in a speaker and listen the result?

Only an idiot can say that my speakers are a mess WITHOUT listening them..

Only an ignorant can think that most speakers eliminate all resonance...

Bye...

This may be an idiotic comment made by an ignorant person, but why don't you post updated pictures of your system and room?  And yeah, I'm talking to you!

Did i disrespect you ?

Then it is not necessary to add that :

And yeah, I’m talking to you!

I discuss acoustic matter... From my experiments...

Posting images has no usefulness...No room is the same ...

And my audio room is not a model , it is my location to listen and experiment...

Imagine the number of idiots who will speak to me rudely or without any respect when seeing a room with heavily modified speakers, and hundred of devices and Helmholtz resonators made with junk?

Why do you think i never add photos to my virutal page?

Did you catch?

Ignorant people associate audio experience with esthetic and price tag...

It is possible to create an audio room esthetical yes but at high cost not with junk material and homemade devices ...

But acoustic science work without price tag attached to the devices...

And if you speak to me like you just did forget me...

YEAH! i speak to you...

How to judge audio equipment?

Solely on the looks.

Just kidding. Although ... I bet quite some equipment choices get based on that.

To judge a system is largely subjective. Some like vocal jazz, some like hard rock ... they may require completely different setups.

I think @electroslacker nailed it ... if it makes you smile and feel good, then the sound is good (for you).

Oh, and reviews. I guess most of us read reviews before buying? Even though it’s a non ideal way to judge if I will like the sound, I want to know what others think of a product. I once bought a pair of earbuds solely based on reviews. Every review said they have incredible, actually unbelievable, sound for their price. I got myself a pair and guess what? They make me smile every time. Their price? Incredible indeed ... $7,95.

I finally looked at Mahgister’s system pictures…I am deeply concerned!
