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

It makes no difference for sure what you will claim about my experience...

As what i will claim about my experience will not change anything about yours either .. We are grown adult and the thread matter is not a technical information question about a piece of specific gear...

But is this means that we cannot discuss about the question i asked because i am being curious about others opinion ?

😊 😊

Are you the arbiter and censor of acceptable thread rhetoric ?

Is any thread here must exist only if the question asked will modify our own experience ?

is it not a bit excessive as demand ?

Sorry dude but i like people opinions and experiences and some already answered ... And i thank them...

You dont like that?

😊

Sorry ....but each one lives here ...

Stay rhetorical...

or explain yourself ...

What means a Rhetorical question for you ?

A question that you already have answered in your own mind. A question that no other answers will make any difference to you.

It seems the fact that someone is happy and know why he is happy with a low cost well embedded system hurt some people feeling...

Happily i am not alone in this situation ... It seems ..😊

I invite any other people happy with a relatively low cost system to testify and explain why it is so , if they can do it for the benefit of others...

This will be called a useful and interesting audio rhetoric .... Each case will be different for sure...We are all different...

And this is not a rhetorical fact...

😊

I love my low cost office system. 

I repurposed speaker boxes, installed seas dual concentric drivers with recommended crossovers powered by a used Hegel H160 integrated amp and stream via a blue sound node. I recently added a small sealed REL subwoofer for a little deeper bass.

I look at my computer screen, 12 O'clock with speakers behind me, 4 feet back, one at 4 O'clock and one at 8 O'clock.I have some egg crate sound deadening foam mounted on the wall behind my computer screen. The room is only 9' X 13' giving it a cozy, comfy feel.

This system gives me so much enjoyment that It's hard to pry myself away to go to work. Part of it may be a clear head in the AM, really good dark roast coffee and cream.

I have a much higher-end system in my living room, but part of the enjoyment of the office system is knowing I didn't spend much to achieve such a level of enjoyment. Of course many would not be impressed and some would scorn my setup which is A-okay with me!

We will like a bit more details...if you could ... 😊

interesting post by 61falcon thanks...

As you i discovered that a low cost system can be very good for enjoying music , especially if much of our creativity is invested in it...

I modified completely my low cost speakers, i disliked them a lot after purchase for 10 years as i put them almost in a bin trash or relegated them on a second computer work; now i can live with them without any frustration this is really audiophile for the poor, acoustics basic knowledge helped me a lot here in modifying the rear porthole design completely and the tweeter waveguide + others "tin foil" hat tricks... 

My Tannoy  gold dual concentric which i owned 40 years with a way more refined design never gave me the same enjoyment. Why ?

Because nevermind the price and quality, any speakers must be used in an acoustically optimized way in a room ... Alas! when i had the Tannoy i was knowing nothing about acoustic... My actual 100 bucks small speakers gave me more right now even with a less refine design  because of this knowledge... Even if the design of the Tannoy were  superior in all acoustic factors on paper... Then owning high end speakers is not enough , we must learn how to embed the speakers mechanically, electrically and acoustically ... And this is my main point ...😊
