Can those apparently few people who use this Newsgroup just for matters
Audio advise me if there is a "more" appropriate newsgroup for dealing
with Audio queries ao running down the subject matter of "most" of the
posts leads me to believe that this NG is for anything and everything
except serious Audio buffs.
I do hope this post attracts those who are prepared to advise but no doubt
some people will take offence at the tenure of my remarks, I assure you no
offence is intended, I just want some loudspeaker advice but feel from the
subject matter of some of the posts I may be in the wrong place.

You are in the wrong place. This as a big old flame war. Nobody here seems
to care about getting better sound in their home, which I always thought was
the point of recreational high end audio.


Best ways to do to make the biggest difference towards better sound:

optimize speaker placement and listening position
apply treatments to improve room acoustics e.g.
- first-reflection absorption for highs and midrange
- bass traps
- room EQ
upgrade speakers

This is a good exemple of technical interesting audio advice... ;-)


Pretty much everything after that runs a distant second, except for
changing cables, which runs a distant third , if that.

Oddly enough, the 'subjectivists' here on RAO rarely seem to talk about
such important stuff as room acoustics. But there's plenty of it over on
avsforum.

This is a good exemple of very good audio bull****... :-(
