If you want lame advice DON'T do this!


Have you ever seen a member ask for advice about their system and don't understand why they need to make a change? Mistakes in this hobby are generally expensive. Does a list of components tell you how they sound together as a system? No Does a picture of a room tell you how the system sounds in the room? No. Think about the dollars that have been flushed away because the problem was the room and no matter what you stick in there or how much it cost it won't git er done. A flat in room frequency response is a starting point before changing anything. So, why don't more people post measurements when asking for advice? If you want lame advice DON'T post your system in your profile. If you want good advice post your system and a pic. If you want excellent advice include your in room FR measurements (which almost all modern receivers provide or REW can do for free).

All modern receivers...what are you talking about? What "receivers" that are in common use by many or most of us can tell is the frequency curve of our system?

Thank you for your response regarding receivers. I was thrown off when you mentioned that word because I don't use an AV receiver, and I thought that you might have meant something else.

Moving on, in the thread that you referenced, I was not asking for advice, I was asking for the opinions of other members, and what their experiences were. We all have our own ways of measuring, and I do it with experimentation and with my ears.

I see that you have a lot of threads and posts for someone who has been a member for such a short time. I don't know if it's your intention to stay here for a long time and build relationships with other members but if that is your plan, I would suggest a change of attitude..
