First rule of acoustics applied for audiophiles : Your system sound great, the price does not matter here, if all acoustics parameters in the system/room are balanced then no one lacking or in excess relatively to the others parameters ...
Learning what are these parameters in acoustics matter...Learning how To act on them and with them matter...
For sure the best design in the world will cost more than any relatively low cost system... But if you are in a race to create the best system in the world by only upgrading the gear pieces the probability are high that you will stay ignorant with the essential in audio : acoustics...
People who are ignorant use a common place evident fact as " the costlier the better the design" to describe my recommendation as self delusion...😁
They ignore the power of acoustics...
How did they now my lost cost modified speakers using Helmholtz principle are trash ? And not a super deal way better than many relatively costlier one with no apparent defect taking into account his design limitations, ( i cannot go under 50 hertz with these speakers marked 85 hertz in the non modified specs) how did they know that ?
They are the deluded one ...
