@calvinj I think we are on the same page. If someone asks my opinion I’ll give it but I am not one to pass final judgement on things I know little about or have no direct experience with.

@mapman i agree with you. I posted this because I see a lot of that happening. I see a lot of generalizations. I see a lot of spec talk unrelated to actual sound. I see folks that think you are not hearing what you are hearing and they will tell you what you hearing. Which is crazy to me |
+1, indeed your room looks good, I tip my hat to your designer. There’s a reason why the worlds most renown equipment designers create their own products and charge more for it. This is a VERY interesting point, I also tip my hat to designers of gear that can create something MORE important than the room, the music, or the gear itself, they can create...customers. If they got 10,000% markups what do I care if the customer feels they got value, I got no beef with a good business model. If someone can do it cheaper, that's ok too. What we can debate are WHO are these designers? I have some hero’s right here that are DIY guys that don’t even own a company, but they got skills. But I gotta disagree on one point, you can’t get blood from a turnip. If the room sucks ain’t know gear that will make it unsuck.

The thing about rooms is yes they are what they are acoustically and tunings can be done to tweak that to various extents, but the decisions one makes regarding what to put into that room and how to achieve the best results possible need to be very well informed otherwise results will still vary all the way from totally awful to quite lovely and most rewarding. I have found that when it comes to acoustically challenged rooms, less can often turn out to be more. |
