How do I know if my systems any good?


I'm not able to leave my house due to a long-standing injury, so I'm unable to hear anyone else's system. I could list out my components but not sure what that would achieve.  Lets assume they're all fine pieces.

what are the things that should be considered when listening and judging an audio system that combines streaming and home theater via bypas thru a preamp.

Maybe it's a great system.

If u spend 100k or more I’d say you have a good system. 😂. Just kidding but seriously for me I’ve always had a good system that I really liked. But I was never satisfied. I always found faults in just about everything where it was true or not. I finally upgraded my amps to the Audio Research Ref 750s and my Ref 6 to 6SE pre amp. Hoping this will be the system that makes me completely happy. Also I am going to be working on my room next.

Working on your room you may discover if you do it right WHY price tag of COMPONENTS dont give always a good system... But acoustic always give a way better system...

In acoustic reverberation TIME must be controlled not eliminated completely...

This "rocket" science is called acoustic...

 

Getting rid of reverbs kind of important.

It's not rocket science

 

If you have to ask this question in the first place.... but really cost is not the determining factor(s).  Synergy goes a long way.  Indicators: Goose bumps, Chills, jump factor, wow factor, or what ever terminology turns your crank.  Just have to listen a little longer, especially late at night.
