High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
I'm using $800 JBL Mini towers with a $20K Aavik u-150 integ......best sound I've had...all about SYNERGY ! @mbmi  , I also believe that the electronics in front of the speakers makes a difference.  By almost every post I have read, over the ye... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
Again, @mahgister  , I did not attribute all or any of those schools of thought to anyone in particular, least of all to you. However, I am saying that here on this site and also on Audio Asylum I have read posts that endorse all of those schools... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@mahgister  , I am not arguing with what you have typed above. I may well be the only one on this thread (and one of the only few on this site) who freely admits he is not knowlegeable. And I also believe that if I had my system in a properly tr... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@mahgister  , almost everyone who posts here claims to be knowlegeable; however, quite often their opinions appear to me to be 180 degrees out from each other.  Therefore, I will continue to refer to different schools of thought.  
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@mahgister  , I wasn't directing that post at you.  As a matter of fact, I rarely completely read most of your posts.  However, I don't think that anyone can read through the responses to (for example) this thread, and deny that the "school of tho... 
Indispensable Tool!
I am willing to give the Ayre disc a try.  I'll look into buying one.  
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
The room has a significant effect on sound. This has been known a long long time, nothing new here. I am sure that is true, but so does the equipment.  I went from a somewhat "cluttered" living room with unequal side walls (meaning no sidewall... 
What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
"Musical"  has different meanings to different people. To some people, AC/DC sounds musical; others think Johnney Cash is musical; there are those who would call classical musical . . . and possibly the same applies to the quality of sound that d... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
It sometimes almost reads as if there is a prevailing school of thought here that is that if you don’t have an acoustically treated room it just doesn’t matter what gear you put in it because it is all going to sound bad. I don’t have an acoustic... 
Help ? with upgrade to budget system
Holy necro-thread, Bat Man!   You're going from a 960ft3 room to one over 11,000ft3. You're going to need a much bigger speaker to fill that space at even moderate levels. You're also going to need a speaker with controlled directivity - horns.... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
My "listening room" (such as it is) is small and highly flawed (and if it isn't highly flawed it is only because of total luck) and by everything I have read, the level of my electronics totally exceeds the acoustic capabilities of the room.  Howe... 
Impressions of the JBL L100 Classics?
I have the L100 Classics.  What is it you are looking for?   Thanks for responding, @rpeluso  . I guess, to begin with: what are your overall impressions/feelings about this speaker? Does it seem to suit a certain genre of music?  Does it pla... 
Can we contribute
@audition__audio  , "hammered dog $hit?" As in, ". . . sounds like hammered dog $hit."    
Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps.
"Looking for my lost shaker of salt" ranks among my Top 10 of deeply moving literary moments involving a reference to sodium chloride.  Rest in piece, Mr. Buffet. But there's booze in the blender. . . .  
Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips?
@mahgister  , what/who is your picture of?  For some reason it always makes me think of the Lou Reed "Rock And Roll Animal" CD cover.
