Erik.. That Magico room makes Magicos sound best to the engineers' ears. I wonder how other speakers would sound in that room. I am a pro violinist....my violin sounds different in every room I play it in. I really don't know what it sounds like, and its been under my chin for my lifetime.
Opinion: Turning Off the Filtering
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share with all of you some of my thoughts and one of the ways in which I most enjoy listening to music.
Have you ever spend a day in a noisy office, trying to talk to others? Or in a room with terrible acoustics, having a discussion? Have you felt yourself tired and exhausted after that? A lot of times our brain is working to filter out sounds in order to process words. To find the symbols which make up language in spite of the noise, reflections that we may find ourselves in.
This is what I most want to get rid of when I listen to music. It is why acoustics and speakers with dispersion control are so incredibly important to me. I want that utter ease, that ability to turn off all that processing and just listen. You may not have noticed this yet, so I'd like you to think about this, see if you can notice your brain shifting modes.
To me the best systems are the one's that are like being in the great outdoors. That feeling you get when your eyes can see for miles without interruption, but for my ears and brain instead of my eyes.
Is this you? Or did you not know this was you yet? :)
Best,
Erik
