Acoustic method with passive treatment and mechanical active control of the dedicated small room is more POWERFUL than almost any upgrade of any piece of gear..
Audiophile experience is linked to acoustic knowledge not to price tags..
The electronic engineering market is mature so much now that we can buy basically good piece of gear at relatively low costs...
The acoustic knowledge of small room is in his infancy because the need for a dedicated small room was not there save for few customers... Most customers put their system in a living room...
My point is the only luxury in audio is DEDICATED tunable room for the specfic speakers...
I dont give a dam about costly gear...I dont need it to fill my room with 3d musical instruments with natural timbre and even relatively to some record sound coming from my back with this steroe basic system... it is clear?
The ratio of S.Q. of my modest system is over the roof...It is not the best system at all...But my dedicated room is at his best for this speakers which are already basic good one for sure...
i put all my 7 headphones of all types in a closet..Think about that... Electrostatcis, planar, dynamc one and hibryd one... How this is possible if the sound of my speakers room is not better than each one of them ?
It is and why?
ACOUSTIC control...
that is my point in a nutshell...
