You quoted me wrong sns..
This is my text :
The gear pieces design quality and synergy cannot be replaced but only compensated by acoustics controls, mechanical one mainly in my case and also equalization and tone control.
But on the other hand no piece of gear can replace acoustic control impact to gain natural timbre and sound spatial characteristics...
Everybody knows that the first thing to solve is gear design quality and synergy and this cannot be replaced by acoustics magic...
But AFTER the buying is done, nothing replace acoustics controls , no upgrade will improve the system room so much importantly and effectively ...Even for an upgrade evaluation it is better to have a good acoustics control of the room...
I had insisted on this because the "disease" of audio is upgrading gear race...And acoustics ignorance...
