Room Acoustics: Where to place the squares?
It seems erik_squires know very well room acoustic... I recommend to listen to his advice... His advice here will help greatly to perceive a natural timbre experience which is only possible by controlling also timing of the direct and indirect w... 
If You And I Disagree About Audio, Who's Right? Roger Skoff tells you who to believe.
Personal taste alone CANNOT be the LAST and only word and the last and only stage in our audio experience...Personal taste must be motivated andinformed by a meaningful process... In our journey we must correlate our own taste and subjective perc...

Acoustic matter.... And our own discriminative perceptive power must be EDUCATED by acoustic...Our listening "taste"or experiences are the result of a personal specific history.... Not like crocodiles an INNATE taste..... If our alleged "taste" ...

There is the gear choices, then the embeddings working controls of the electrical and mechanical and acoustical factors... Acoustic is the key factor... Thats all i learned in the last years of my listening experiments... I am not right or wron... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Wise post and some few words saying the essentials... Thanks ... Or your goals may be more like Herb Brooks (USA Hockey gold medal coach 1980) where he wasn't looking for the best players(components). He was looking for the "right" ones.    
Law of Accelerated Returns
And when someone point to a better understanding of the law of diminishing return and this illusory " accelerating return perspective" , calling the acoustic method the only optimizing KEY road to enjoy the gear you have or toward which you want t... 
Audio nonsense
Thank God for our ears. Not to mention that any comment about audio without comparative listening is nonsense. As for determining what room correction might be required (for tonal accuracy, content resolution, transient response, etc.), we can ea...

Yes, they produced a realistic scale soundstage of an orchestra as if I was sitting 10 rows back, but they also were able to produce an intimate singer/guitarist performance as if I was I was sitting in the original room with the performer. I cou...

Brand matter way less than acoustic... This resume all audio threads unbeknowst gear idolatry ignorance and some sellers professionally biased oriented ignorance...  
Audio nonsense
Yes it is desirable to have an engineering STANDARD... but you cannot tune a room without hearing listening experiments... And you cannot say all is perfect because my measuring tool said so instead of my ears/brain ....We must CORRELATE ears an... 
Audio nonsense
Exactly.... But most people dont understand that they NEVER hear speakers alone but they listen with EARS/speakers/room specific TRIPLE interaction with each one his own specific unique characteristic... Tuning a speakers/room relation ask for a...

Jay is a very honest person in his review....I liked very much his video.... brain+heart is a winning couple .... I can say that even if i am at the opposite of his way of speaking about audiophile experience and costly gear.... (I insist myself... 
Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge.
I could not say it better....Especially after all the posts lost in this metaphor.... 😁😉   The room and speakers are the instruments you hear from, but the DAC is how the signal gets created. There are people who can hear through bad rooms an... 
Audio nonsense
My "mechanical equalizer" is tuned to work and modify the room zone pressures level for some frequencies in relation with one another yes , but ALSO in relation to my own IMPERFECT hearing apparatus...Then my "curve" on the same graph as used by s...

It is not false but it is not true either like many encompassing statement... I like to discuss about "sound" but i listen music because my system and audio room are done... Then i like to discuss what come about from my experience and experimen...
