If you are content with your system, you should really not care for what others think about it.
I think some people miss my main points :
Audiophile minimal satisfaction may be enough for most at least for me because of basic knowledge and creativity...
it is not enough to own a 100,000 bucks system... We must learn how to embed it in our house/room for our ears and how to optimize it ... This is my point... This is valid even for a 1000 bucks system optimization as mine is...
We need acoustic , electrical and mechanical basic and this matter as much for S.Q. as high quality design of the gear pieces ( this is my main personal discovery and this does not means that all gear design at all cost levels are equal with one another for sure)
I dont care about what people think about my system , if i would have care do you think i would had posted my first virtual pages where i received insults for my room acoustic disposition and my experiments or do you think i would had post my second system gear pieces which are low cost pieces anyway with pride after selling my first house/room ? Do you catch how and why your supposition are completely wrong about me ? 😊
But i care and i am curious about other people experience and opinions about their own low cost system here ... some had already given interesting answers... this was my goal... I never need any approval man... But i like others experience posts ...
I have more pride of my two systems S.Q. ratio/price i myself created at low cost than any system at any cost ( which systems as we can see in others people virtual page for sure may or will be better potential S.Q. by design; only an idiot will claim that my low cost speakers are top of audio, i never claimed that stupidity; but only an idiot will claim that after my modification they are not way better than before as they were in the box ) ... Then take any opinion about my system as i take it myself ... Rain on my duck back ... 🦆
High end exist because higher design cost more... This is a common -place fact...Period.
I never contested this fact... It will be relatively easy for me to upgrade my system tomorrow but i dont want to invest 15 times the money i had invested already... My actual system is audiophile level and satisfy me completely with his limitations for sure but no evident acoustic defect, it is a balanced design because of my creativity... ...I explained why above and what i means by that...
Why then my thread seems so disturbing for some ? 😊
if you dont have a satisfying low cost system to speak about in this thread stay mute instead of accusing me of being unsecure in myself... You are unsecure yourself attacking my motives and intention then dont project that attitude on me...
Audiophile experience is grosso modo defined by acoustic knowledge more than just price tags sorry if you dont know that yet... Dont kill the messenger think twice...
