The room acoustic matters a lot because the speaker cone is angled and sending sounds to walls rather than to the listener. Change the direction of sounds to the listener (easy to do). Then the room acoustic doesn't matter much. Alex/WTA
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
The last 20 years as an audiophile and now a dealer has taught me a very important lesson. Everything matters. The equipment can be great but no matter how much you spend the matching is very important. The cabling is also important. Some think cabling is all about making it sound better. I prefer my cabling to not get in the way. It’s like it can’t be a clogged faucet for your sound. Materials and shielding are very important. In addition to that the room is very important. You may not have a perfect room but you build your system to work in the room you have. I don’t have all the answers but you can’t just spend money and have a great system. Combination of equipment, cabling and room has gotten me there. I’ve tried a lot of gear and cables and this is how I feel. What are your thoughts everyone?

That's why the sound must sent to the listener rather than send to walls, floor and the ceiling. **80% left side of my room is the glass doors. Alewx/WTA |
I have the sound signature I want from my system. I don't think there is any system better warm sound with details than mine. Alex/WTA Compare to the original music |
I got it. I was just saying, for your room, you could put a plug (sound-wave guide) on speaker drivers to change the direction of sounds easily. I won't bother you now. Alex/WTA |
In my opinion, if audio cables are made properly, all cables sound the original music and cable matching is not needed. However, all cables are not made properly and sound different. Even same model/brand power cords made by a same person in a same day sound different each other because no one knows how to make PC properly. Everybody (Audio companies, DIYers, any electrical part manufactures) know how to make PCs and that is the limit and not enough to make proper audio PCs. That’s why audiophiles keep changing equipment and wishing for a good luck in matching cables. Alex/WTA |
