Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms


I remember running into an audiophile who refused to consider anything about room acoustics. He bought speakers specifically for live, untreated rooms.

Anyone else? What was your solution?

I get the entire room treatment thingie but if your components cannot product the correct tone (such as piano, sax, violin), dynamics, dimension, clarity, details, etc, then IMO the room has less of an impact.  For example, old 70's box speakers may have less interaction with a room as they are usually sweet in the mids, slightly boomy in the bass region and slightly less open in the top end.

Happy Listening.

The entire premise of this thread and its responses exhibits the snarky, esoteric attitude of too many audiophiles. The solution is to enjoy the music where it happens. I daresay that there is more music happening on streets, in bars, around campfires, in gymnasiums, (etc ad infinitum) than on stages or in concert halls. If you are unable to enjoy it in less that 'perfect environs you cannot really be a music lover.

You are right, I've measured some of the same issues, and I wouldn't move without my speakers AND my acoustic supplies. :)

This audiophile's view was that speakers should be made for untreated living rooms or they should not be purchased. That the maker of the speaker should already have dealt with those "issues."
A speaker that sounds like it's in a treated room, perfectly positioned WITHOUT it being in a dedicated space with all the room tweaks would be the greatest invention since sliced bread.
