Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)


Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. šŸ˜Š

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... šŸ˜Ž

I have always felt the 90th percentile is a very good place to live life and the things you enjoy.

The last 10% can drive you crazy.

Low cost? Low as compared to what? I have what I think is an excellent low cost system. It only cost me $150K, less than a top Magico or Wilson loudspeaker.Ā 

You know how to read then it is written :

by a relatively low cost system

Now if you are Bill Gates you already know thatĀ  "relatively low cost" can beĀ  1000, bucks or 5,000 bucks because it is an expression relating to the usual American income or average oneĀ  around 60,000 bucks...

From all that i deduce for evident reason that not knowing that you are not Bill Gates...šŸ˜Š

Have you ever compared your low cost system to higher end gear? It could be a case if ignorance is bliss. But if you enjoy your system that is all that matters!

Sorry but you are deluded by marketing audiophilia...

No acoustician need the opinion of a crowd of audiophiles, they need their ears and basic knowledge...

I am not an acoustician but i know some basic and tuned my own room... ( with 100 Helmholtz resonators tuned mechanically and i modified the porthole of my speakers and their waveguide and i modified my headphone then... I dont need your opinion about my system limits and qualities i already know them ... Guess how ? šŸ˜ You know enough about me now to know the right answer, but i wll write it to spare you heavy thinking : acoustic experiments...

And i will add that a good sound is not the result of an audiophilia marketing contest , it could be yes, but i dont need to participate...

A minimal acoustic satisfaction threshold exist where all factors in spite of their measured and audible limitations exhibit a very high S.Q. experience with a relatively low price tag... A maximum acoustic satisfaction threshold exist too and you need a dedicated acoustic room anyway to reach this target also...

The gear price tags if synergy is there matter less in the two case : minimal or maximal satisfaction threshold.. Guess why ? šŸ˜Š

In conclusion my system is not amazing for all in the absolute, it is amazing taken into account the ratio between cost and S.Q.Ā  and taking into accountĀ  the resulting balance between each acousticsĀ  experienced concepts describing the experience . ( Timbre and immersiveness if we pick the two most general one)

If knowledgeable people arenā€™t coming over to listen to your system and tell you that it is amazing then it probably isnā€™t and you are deluded.
