High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?

My opinion too .... Thanks ....

Well, you know what they say about opinions. . . .

You are comical in your lack of argument... Then attacking my answer to another poster...

Do you think that what you just say dont apply to your own "opinion" ? Your "opinion" is king ?

Are you a conscious being able to recognize yourself in a mirror and able to manipulate logic ?

Then why your "opinion" contradicting acoustics science , because any system own the signature of the room where it is, why your "opinion" is it  the only one immune to your own judgement about my "opinion" ?

I must conclude that you are not a robot, because robot are at least logical...

Everybody here "know that electronics in front of the speakers" as you said make a difference each time and IN ALL TIME ...But the point to understand is not this common place fact known by all from 7 years old to 77 years old ,  anyway known by all of us , but the fact that audio main factor is acoustics , when a synergetical system is chosen at any price ...For sure marketing sellers dont claim this to their gullible customers...

Then as you said , you know what they say about SOME opinion ?  Some "opinion"  are common place fact without any use save repeating a common place experience: no amplifier or dac sound the same for sure ... so what ?

Read about acoustics and psychoacoustics and call this a new day in your life  ...

Acoustics is the sleeping princess and your ears/brain are the kissing prince and the gear pieces are no more than the 7 dwarves... Do you get it ?

It is not my opinion , it is a fact ...

I only quoted you.  Why are you throwing a hissy fit?

But do you know what they say about opinions?

I only quoted you.  Why are you throwing a hissy fit?

But do you know what they say about opinions?

When someone is polite enough to qualify his post to another person  at the end by : "it is my opinion too " it is a politeness formula...This say for a third person reading it : it is only our opinion...

When a third party , a dude come suggesting that this "opinion" is like the paper we use to wipe something i will not name , instead of answering by arguments , it is an insult ... Do you get it ?

Do you need a drawing ?

So you do know what they say about opinions?

@gregm @mahgister well here we go.  I completely disagree.  Point blank in you build higher quality speakers and amplifiers that reduce noise and distortion. If you research how to use better materials and design. If you spend time researching and developing those products. They are just going to sound better on most occasions.  Typically most but not all but most high end audio makers put a lot of time, resources and intellectual property in to the finished products.  Look if you don’t want to spend of will not spend on that.  Then that is fine.  But no matter what room you are in. If the products have proper synergy and the build quality is better in the higher end equipment it’s just going to sound better.  Can you get a great sound at a cheaper price and a better built room yes.  But the level of transparency,  detail , soundstage , speed, low noise floors and decay in some of the higher end products can not be touched no matter what room you put the lower to midfi equipment into.  I have lived with both in my room with extended demos or either ownership.  Could one consider it too much to pay.  Yeas. But better is better because it built, designed, researched and developed better. If you know how to get synergy in the high end it’s a wrap. We do all have opinions.  This is clearly mines.
