Enough is Enough

deep_333,

Thanks for the information. I already sent AcousticFields an email.

Hope it works out for ya... I bought the ACDA carbon panels, as is from them. For diffusion, i went the diy route and followed their formula (formula, wood, saw, glue, nails, garage, saved some cash). You can see what they suggest for your room.

With your room size and a few of these acdas in there, taking care of the 'room resolution' bottleneck.. you're in for something you never heard at any show or anywhere...There's nothing wrong with being curious about different gear, different flavors. But, once you address the above mentioned and create the right foundation, you won't be 'missing' anything with your existing gear (diving into rabbit holes). 

I believe their core market is still pro, upper echelon studios, etc...but, it seems more audiophiles have caught on to it in recent times. 

Seems to me audiophiles with quality systems very aware their systems high quality, some audio salesman stating its low quality speaks volumes as to their character and/or lack of knowledge, you should be educating that salesman and/or dealer.

sns,

I understand your post. I don't feel the need to prove anything to a dealer or anyone about my system. I know the dealer never heard my system. Even if he did and didn't like it, it's no big deal to me. Building an audio "system' is personal and very subjective. To be honest, when I first started in this hobby, I was concerned about what others thought about my system. I wanted to own certain components for the wrong reasons. As I grew in this hobby I've learned to trust my own ears. My wife has a lot of input about what I purchase. She hears better than I do and is usually right with her analysis.

I have a phone appointment with them today.
