IMO, how can you get the best out of your equipment unless you have a perfect tuned room, which IMO, is a dedicated audio room with the right dimensions and with room treatments. Living rooms or rooms that have openings on 1 side and not the other, bookshelves on 1 side wall and let’s say glass on the opposite, or other non-dedicated rooms with no control of reflections, how would you ever get symmetry to get good SQ? I have built 2 custom homes in the last 15 years with dedicated audio rooms in each. Each room uses Multiple dedicated outlets, has just 1 chair, and still use multiple room treatments.
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
So many audiophiles have commented that when your room treatment is completed, your electronics set up and tweaked and most importantly, your speakers are set up in your listening space correctly that you'll know it because everything just sounds so "right" and natural. I just accomplished that feat in the last two weeks. I say two weeks because I needed to play a wide variety of recordings to be sure that I'm there. It is so great to have finally hit just the right set up.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that it has taken me well over a year of experimentation to get to this point. It's not that other placements yielded poor quality sound its just that now everything sounds like a live event (as much as any of our systems can).
I would really appreciate hearing about your journey to the promised land of audiophile/music lover bliss. How long did it take, what were the most difficult aspects of the journey? And if you have yet to get there, what do you think is the "brick in your wall"?
