My, my !!
Well, I have to say, in my "defense", my posting was a bit of a red herring...
Of course I'm in consultation with both an acoustic engineer and an HT designer...
Architecture can be a rewarding life, but success in this field is frequently oversimplified by other professionals. Good buildings are not solely the result of the "look" of the work. Much of an architect's job is to marry a set of disparate items into a cohesive whole. I have quite a bit of experience running up against new things that I don't quite understand. I love that part of my work. But for that reason, I also realize I can't succeed without knowledge of my limitations..
What I INTENDED to get from my post (apparently wrongly worded (my apologies)) was a thoughtful discussion on the merits (and experience) of my fellow audiogon "posters".
As an architect, it's my job to listen to the "chaos" and order it in a way that is, hopefully, inspiring.. THAT process is not limited to simply aesthetics.. it's the "whole package".. 'thing is: I only have the time to listen to a handful of professionals...and their advice is (I have to say) occasionally biased in their favor.. occasionally... so I went looking to a group that I knew would not feel the need to self-serve.
Note to "Exertfluffer": I actually appreciate your candor and passion for the field... but, worry not. This is part of MY "process"... I had hoped to hear "stories" of past experience with particular systems... and more importantly, begin to hear patterns in the reviews.. why people prefer "this" speaker over "that", etc.. 'compare that to what I was being advised by the HT and acoustic engineer..
Lastly, I'll apologize for my rather blunt posting.. I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't think.. My writing didn't show the seriousness with which I view my work --on this, or any, project...
anyway...
Cheers !
