If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics


... and so many on cables?

I am sure there are 10 if not 50 times more posts on cables too?

I would hope that as audiophiles we could agree that acoustics are far more important than cables. A cable may (or should) make a fraction of a db change. Acoustics can make several db changes (or more).  A cable may have some impact on clarity or soundstage (and many can rightfully debate that). Acoustics absolutely will have an impact on soundstage.

So what is the reason? 
  • Is it because acoustics are "hard", i.e. you really have to put some thought into it? 
  • Are acoustics not sexy enough? 
  • Is it because they are often unattractive?
  • Is it because they carry much in the way of bragging rights (at least with many audiophiles)?
  • Do they not provide enough "retail therapy"?
  • Most audiophile really don't understand much about acoustics and can't contribute?
  • The difference between those who understand acoustics and those that don't is substantial for people are fearful of wading into discussions?

Interested in people's thoughts. People will drop thousands on a cable, $10K on an amp, or turntable, but I don't see anywhere near that spend on acoustics in most cases.

Confucius say, "Man who talk all day about direction of cables, is compensating for his inadequate acoustics".
You’re not ready for stand up. I have noticed your inferiority complex however. 
If I have the right data sheets, the GIK monster bass trips will be pretty useless for your two primary modes, which is usually the problem with bass traps. To work at the deepest modes they need to be huge.

Not good at guessing your nomenclature, so can you explain "SR LR".

cxp,

"..room treatments do not alter or change whether the sound coming out of speakers sounds live or not."


Is it not also true that the room has far more effect upon the bass response than either the midrange or the treble? 
Oh geoff, you are projecting again.  The adults are trying to have a discussion about acoustics. Run along now.
