Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

Pick your choice of word

Went through a few posts here and the only conclusion I came to is that you are offended by whatever words others choose. This contradicts the following statement you make:

For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all.

If you are content with your system, you should really not care for what others think about it. I checked your current system and it does not show a specific room or audio equipment setup. I love my system as much as you like yours. You enjoy your system and let me enjoy mine. Have fun!

I agree with griislybutter knowledge and research and listening are keys… OP it’s ok to amaze for what you have, it’s hard for others to agree when we tell them we are amaze on our low cost system.congratulations.

If you know of costlier systems, heard costlier systems but come back to your own and still get goosebumps? That’s all that matters. It’s all relative, and it’s all a matter of experimentation and personal taste. Not to mention the psychoacoustic effect that can blend so much of the overall experience into serious and personal bliss.

Tonal balance, great soundstage, impact, realism and true system synergy need not be hyper exorbitant nor unobtainable. And the journey can be fun if we let it be…

enjoy the music 🙏🏼

If you are content with your system, you should really not care for what others think about it.

I think some people miss my main points :

Audiophile minimal satisfaction may be enough for most at least for me because of basic knowledge and creativity...

it is not enough to own a 100,000 bucks system... We must learn how to embed it in our house/room for our ears and how to optimize it ... This is my point... This is valid even for a 1000 bucks system optimization as mine is...

We need acoustic , electrical and mechanical basic and this matter as much for S.Q. as high quality design of the gear pieces ( this is my main personal discovery and this does not means that all gear design at all cost levels are equal with one another for sure)

I dont care about what people think about my system , if i would have care do you think i would had posted my first virtual pages where i received insults for my room acoustic disposition and my experiments or do you think i would had post my second system gear pieces which are low cost pieces anyway with pride after selling my first house/room ? Do you catch how and why your supposition are completely wrong about me ? 😊

But i care and i am curious about other people experience and opinions about their own low cost system here ... some had already given interesting answers... this was my goal... I never need any approval man... But i like others experience posts ...

I have more pride of my two systems S.Q. ratio/price i myself created at low cost than any system at any cost ( which systems as we can see in others people virtual page  for sure may or  will be better potential S.Q.  by design; only an idiot will claim that my low cost speakers are top of audio, i never claimed that stupidity; but only an idiot will claim that after my modification they are not way better than before as they were in the box ) ... Then take any opinion about my system as i take it myself ... Rain on my duck back ... 🦆

High end exist because higher design cost more... This is a common -place fact...Period.

I never contested this fact... It will be relatively easy for me to upgrade my system tomorrow but i dont want to invest 15 times the money i had invested already... My actual system is audiophile level and satisfy me completely with his limitations for sure but no evident acoustic defect, it is a balanced design because of my creativity... ...I explained why above and what i means by that...

Why then my thread seems so disturbing for some ? 😊

if you dont have a satisfying low cost system to speak about in this thread stay mute instead of accusing me of being unsecure in myself... You are unsecure yourself attacking my motives and intention then dont project that attitude on me...

Audiophile experience is grosso modo defined by acoustic knowledge more than just price tags sorry if you dont know that yet... Dont kill the messenger think twice...

@mahgister ,,,,*G*elbow nudge*

Well, I suspected you were not alone...looking upforum. definitely not. ;)

And...I'm happy to admonish that if you're delusional (or merely 'tripping'). you've got a 'fellow traveler' (or 'trip sitter') only as far as a keyboard and screen.... ;)

@p05129 ....gently, sir....I was admonished OUAT that a small dogs' bite can be just as painful as that of a larger one....

....and strangers can be more of a surprise that you expected. 🤔

I've a sneaking suspicion that many who populate A'gon would prefer...nay, Strive for 'better', if not beyond rationality and the agonized squeaks of a credcard....

There are no 'audio clubs' in my locale....I've looked about...one that was 4 hr. away doesn't seem to exist anymore, and I've better and more to attend to than punching my means through combat traffic to listen to Macs in a for-sh*t space where acoustics was ignored 'cuz the SO wanted the room to feature the furniture v. the audio qualities....

Surprised?  Oh, F no...

Mahg's thoughts and commentary is muzic to my mind , if not ears....

Yes, one can achieve the 'suburban' levels of Nirvana without Xcess,,,,yep, pun intended, and you should have heard it coming.....

My 'pile' of this, that, and th; other would likely not impress. Few have seen it, less heard it, esp. 'philes with zilch interest at darkening my door.  They're welcome, wine, brew (AVL has more than you will EVER imbibe without making  the local PD happy to DWI you or worse...), or 'other', which You should supply.,,,

NC still is in an idiot state.....mho.....longer story than I'll subject y'all to....

...*sigh* Miserable acoustics....I can cope.

DIY Walsh drivers that the few that have heard....prefer...

I don't claim perfection.

It doesn't exist.

Dollars be damned.

Make self happy, bottom line.

Nothing else matters.
