Room Dependent


It's always interesting reading opinions about speakers on audiophile forums without the room being mentioned. The room is what we hear and as far as components go, the room and the speakers are one component. Giving an opinion on a speaker is a bit precarious without the room being presented. Also saying a speaker is good or bad makes little sense for the end user. Speakers almost always sound good to the maker in their own personal setup, but what happens to that speaker as it is moved to a different environment is reliance.

As the hobby continues to mature the distance between the experienced and limited experience and even no experience widens. I know for me those who have not applied practical application to this topic, or any audio topic as far as that goes, rank a zero. When it comes to Speakers/Room "you should have been there" and "you need to be there" is a must.

If a speaker manufacturer cannot create a speaker that cannot work in the real world without having to create a 'perfect environment', then they probably won't be in business for long. 
A good speaker will sound good in any environment, and will sound great in a properly set up room.
Just my 2 cents...

Just jealous, I suppose...
When you get it right the first time, you don't need band aids.

I never said I did it 'the first time around'.
And, what does Steinway have to do with it?

Perhaps if you weren't so full of yourself, I would be more accommodating.
