High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
The last 20 years as an audiophile and now a dealer has taught me a very important lesson. Everything matters. The equipment can be great but no matter how much you spend the matching is very important. The cabling is also important. Some think cabling is all about making it sound better. I prefer my cabling to not get in the way. It’s like it can’t be a clogged faucet for your sound. Materials and shielding are very important. In addition to that the room is very important. You may not have a perfect room but you build your system to work in the room you have. I don’t have all the answers but you can’t just spend money and have a great system. Combination of equipment, cabling and room has gotten me there. I’ve tried a lot of gear and cables and this is how I feel. What are your thoughts everyone?
Thanks for the clarification... I appreciate all opinions which are given without attacking anyone even if the discussion could be "hot" ... My best wishes to you and all people here for the new year....

By the way milhorn you are right about the waveguide redesign impact... I redesigned mine and not only my rear porthole geometry then the tweeter waveguide matter a lot...( the impact on timbre and soundstage is evident as is evident the redesigning impact of the rear porthole redesign geometry as is evident the role of reflected waves done right even in near listening field ... But the room acoustics is not replaced by any waveguide either ...It contribute in a way the waveguide could not , and the wave guide contribute in a way the room could not ... I want optimal results not only room acoustic or wave guide alone ...I did the two and more ...My low cost system is very good now ...

evon when they spec compatibly, some components sound better together than others. |
You are completely right ... Synergy matter first and last for sure... Nobody will build an acoustic room around non synergetical components... It takes to much time to do acoustic without first owning a relatively well done synergy... Synergy is so basic that it appear evidently even in a non controlled room , and even when the other faqctors electrical and mechanical had been adressed... But it is so evident i mention almost never synergy when i spoke about the three main embeddings controls : acoustical,electrical and mechanical...We must own a system BEFORE optimizing it ...Then we ask for a minimal synergy and embeddings controls optimization begin after that ...
