I recently jumped deep into room treatments, it seems 50% of a stereo's potential is completely lost without the effort. room 50%/stereo 50% wow was I shocked - an untreated room with fantastic $$$ gear is like a horse at the derby w 2.5-3 legs max. a treated room with good sounding well designed and choosen gear I would take every time.
Good thread folks. I especially enjoyed this comment:Quote from: 1000a on 30 Jun 2007, 04:33 amI recently jumped deep into room treatments, it seems 50% of a stereo's potential is completely lost without the effort. room 50%/stereo 50% wow was I shocked - an untreated room with fantastic $$$ gear is like a horse at the derby w 2.5-3 legs max. a treated room with good sounding well designed and choosen gear I would take every time.This is why I find it annoying when some people tout unmeasurable, unproven "tweaks" claiming a huge improvement, all the while ignoring room treatment which actually does make a huge improvement.--Ethan
And how about the reviews of room treatments where it turns out the reviewer simply has none to begin with? Sad and funny at the same time.
Ideally, a reviewer’s job is straight forward. In the perfect world, a reviewer should only evaluate electronics they can comfortably accommodate that is within the scope of their experience. In other words, you won’t hand a guy a $10,000 pair of speakers if his/her experience is primarily in the $3000 territory.
So long as people may be investing their hard earned cash on my word, I am certain to make sure there will be no surprises in store for them when they bring a product home.
Well, the review thing is always very difficult. Granted there are all the conspiracy theories surrounding how things get done and there might be a little bit of monkey business here and there but in the end, if the reviews are false or misleading, they don't serve anyone: The manufacturer or the reader (or the credibility of a reviewer)
