My first audio show - I don't get it
I just got back from thr Denver audiofest. What boggles my mind after
listening to all the rooms is how bad most systems sounded because they didn't treat the room -either with room treatment or electronic room correction products. Yet most of the people used very expensives cables, devices to keep the cables off the floor etc. Now I am sure most people moved things around a bit to do as well as they could - and some systems sounded great. However I think only a handful had room treatment and one was using a Rives (which allowed me to do an A/B. Which easily deomonstrated the products capabilities). I understand room treatments can be bulky - however - isn't this their bread and butter? Seems like they losing the forrest for the trees when one has cables that cost thousands of dollars and the room - below 300hz - sounds like crap. I am sure a modest system set up well is far better sounding than a mega-bucks system that is not. I guarantee I could take a budget system, deploy the right set up and room correction and put almost every room to shame. |
