Rate these on order of importance:


In getting the best sound what, in general terms, what is the order of importance among the following items?

1. The room (treatments, size, etc.)
2. The power (conditioning, power, power cords)
3. The connections(cables, etc.)
4. The source (analog, digital, etc.)
5. The speakers (including subs)

Thanks, this should be interesting.

Bad speakers in a great room will sound as poor as great speakers in terrible room. A great source feeding bad speakers will sound just as poor as a bad source feeding great speakers, etc. etc.

What you ask is impossible. It is called a system for a reason, and that includes the room.
Matchstikman, if you have crappy speakers with a great source the end result is still crap.

If you put one bad ingredient on your pizza you are going to have a bad pizza not matter how good the rest of it is.
