Interesting to see where Elac goes now that A Jones is long gone...I realize they've been around a long time, and I believe have a separate design team for their sold in Europe speakers...
Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ?
Is there a minimal/optimal subjective and also objective threshold of minimal satisfaction ?
If so, many upgrade chasing may seems like a dog chasing his tail....😁
I just live through one of this upgrading event...
My system is very good, and when i tried to upgrade it , it was more a curiosity about the new amplifier than a real need...
But keep in mind that my system is 700 bucks for all components... My upgrade trying cost 1000 bucks...😁
Anyway i myself think that there is objective acoustic factors that define good sound, and when these factors are there on this threshold line , most upgrade are a change not always for the better not an improvement...
Am i alone who live throught this ? am i alone to be satisfied by under 1000 bucks system, headphone and speakers dac and amplifier included ?😁
For sure i listen alone... Many had wife and friends listening with them... This implicate costlier system able to accomodate a room , not headphone or small speakers for one in an acoustic corner for one ...
Anyway am i alone in acoustic bliss with under 1000 bucks system ?

I went from a Revel Salon 1 speaker in a secluded home in the hills, where I could blast as loud as wanted to an apartment next to the beach. I had a $300 AudioEngineUSA desktop speaker for 5 years at the beach apartment. I enjoyed the heck out of my system during that time because the alternative was no music, and that would be no fun. |
Thanks for this useful advices to beginners ...grislybutter yyzsantabarbara
I will add, you must, once this is done, read enough about how to controls vibration/resonance , electrical noise floor of the gear/room/house and especially acoustics concepts not just room acoustic ... Without this applied even with high end components the S.Q. will never be optimal if not even good ... |
