Greetings! Music listener here :-)
« on: 17 Jun 2020, 08:39 pm »
Hello! Apparently I posted one time almost a decade ago. I think I am still a newbie though. Stuck in a small apartment right now (mostly listening to AKG 601 headphones), but planning on getting a house in a couple months with some more room for audio.

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Welcome!

Be prepared as in-room listening is a lot more complex and expensive. 

Suggest you look for a house with potential decent listening room: not small, not squarish, insulated, and can be dedicated.  And recommend reading Floyd Toole's "Sound Reproduction" 3rd edition, the consummate audiophile primer for explaining how speakers/subwoofers behave in-room.  The book explains how nearly every residentially sized room has huge bass peaks/dips and the best solution: multiple carefully placed subwoofers.  Absorption panels also help.  Digital signal processing (DSP) should only be considered as "icing on the cake."
