What do you think of my 25 laws of audio


The Laws of High Quality Audio.

1. The bigger the sound system the better.
2. The more powerful the sound system the better.
3. There is no such thing as a sound system that is too big.
4. There is no such thing as a sound system that is too powerful.
5. You will always find that no matter how big you build the system it is never quite big enough.
6. You will always find that no matter how much power you have there never seems to be quite enough.
7. No matter how deep and powerful the bass sounds, it will always seem to be not quite deep enough and not quite powerful enough.
8. No matter how clear and detailed the treble sounds, you will always feel that it could be improved.
9. Achieving audio perfection is absolutely impossible no matter how much money you spend.
10. No matter how much money you spend you will always feel that the system is not quite as good as it could be.
11. If you think that your system sounds perfect then there must be something seriously wrong with it or something seriously wrong with you.
12. All your friends think that your system sounds much better than you do.
13. The longer you listen to your own system the worse it seems to sound.
14. Any dissatisfaction with a new system, no matter how slight, will always become greater as time goes on.
15. Any new pieces of equipment added to the system will always sound excellent initially but nowhere near as good when you get used to them.
16. Regularly listening to poor equipment for extended periods is good because it seems to make good equipment sound much better.
17. Regularly listening to good equipment for extended periods seems to make poor equipment sound absolutely dreadful and probably worse than it really is.
18. Any person’s opinion on the sound quality of a system is completely worthless because someone else will have a different opinion.
19. Any alterations you make to the system to improve it, no matter how extensive, will never improve it to the extent you wanted it to.
20. No matter how good your system sounds, there will always be someone else with a system that sounds better.
21. You will always detect a difference between the sound qualities of two identical systems and never know why they sound different.
22. Any attempt to match different makes of equipment together will never work out quite as you originally intended.
23. Improving any individual part of the system will always make some other part of the system seem worse than it was before.
24. If you build a big listening room you will be very pleased with the result, but when you get used to it you will convince yourself that the room needs to be bigger.
25. An infinitely huge attempt to achieve perfection would at best only produce a system that was infinitesimally close to perfection, but still not perfect.

Hi Chaps,

I was only really having a bit of fun.
I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Please forgive me if I have done so.
Post removed 
I live in Bristol, UK and I have been building up a big system slowly as the money allows.
I am using a line-up of eight Tannoy 15" Dual Concentric speakers in big cabinets driven by a stack of 500W power mosfet power amplifiers.
The sound is rich, lush and powerful with superb imaging
and extraordinary bass extension and impact.
The bass can cause modulation of your own voice and de-focuses your eye sight, I am not joking.
If you think I am mad, then I think you are right.
The original idea was to try to build a system of studio sound quality which is capable of high sound pressure levels.
I find very loud, very deep bass quite some experience which I would recommend to anyone to try.
Best way to describe it is like a "shudder" that makes you feel kind of strange and makes your trousers flap against your legs. Normal/average Hi Fi doesn't seem to produce this kind of sound unfortunately.
Hi Tvad,

Well I have been pissed off for many years because I was born a British person.
I dearly wish I had been born in the USA.
I love everything about the USA and I hate the UK.
The UK was a good place to live 40 years ago, but is now a horrible place especially if you love engineering and science.
I agree completely. Your list merely skims the surface, though. Consider adding another 50-75 laws to flesh it out a little.
