How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?

One thing that most audiophile here dont get often :

There is No comparison between a system never mind his price BEFORE   mechanical, electrical and acoustical optimization and AFTER  optimization.

NONE...

 Then when we compare systems at different price levels most of the times  we dont know what we speak about because the threefold set of  optimal conditions are not there...

A usual normal  room must be designed acoustically to compensate and help  ONE  gear/speakers system...( relatively low cost is possible )

Or we build from the scratch a very costly acoustic dedicated room of good dimension able to serve and help most speakers /gear...

Music meaning is no more, no less, in the sound, that our thought content is in our gesture speech act. They intersect without being identical as twins conjointed for life.

I value my very good system speakers or headphone but it has nothing to do for or with my taste in music.

But because it is better to convey the same spoken message in a good clearer and more beautiful way with a clear throat, i want a very good audio/room system.

The title of my virtual system page was once : How to reach Audiophile satisfaction for 1,000 bucks"...

How :  mechanical and electrical controls of the system embeddings working dimensions especially acoustics with devices of my own at peanuts costs...

Knowledge beat  upgrade when you reach the minimal synergy threshold of your working system...Experiments then put your system at his utmost surprising level of optimal working...

I tried to upgrade  topping the entire cost of my actual system and i fail...

It will cost me a step from 1,000 bucks to 10,000 to really upgrade my speakers system and with very well chosen component which for sure i will be in the obligation to modify...

For my headphone system  the AKG 340 is so good(i wrote 35 pages of review),after my 6 optimizations, the only possible assured upgrade was the costlier Immanis around 10,000 bucks...

But i change my mind why ?

Because it seems to had very moderate bass impact.

my AKG 340 is in so well balanced state , that timbre tone is as speakers, the soundstage if required by the recording is out of my head and the deep bass of the big organ in a church , i hear it with my toes and stomach by bones resonance...

Why buying the Immanis or anything else ?

My K340 is not perfect, some headphone can beat him on some acoustic factor but not in the balance ratio of all these numerous acoustics factors...

I hope you will listen and have fun studying how to make acoustics experiments learning basic...

I proved to myself that we dont need money for a very good system but knowledge which is in acoustics books...

i wish you all a very Merry, happy,healthy, wonderful Christmas with your family...
