Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig


OK, I'm sure we'll come up with more than 10. Whatever.

Maybe I'll compile the top 10 once we get a few.

I'll start with my #1: avoid putting speakers that are too big in a room that is too small

'Exactly why hi-end audio is so difficult and frustrating. You can spend $20k for and amp and still be suffering from trade-offs.'

Since you realize this, why not spend 3-5 thousand on a complete system and enjoy the music. Audio is great, and it ain't rocket science. The problem with high-end audio, is the high-end part.

"The problem with high-end audio, is the high-end part."

Or maybe more accurate to say "The problem with hi end audio is too much hi end and not enough audio."
In some cases, of course. Not all. Hi end when done right can be really special.
Sebrof:

It appears as if more and more members are beginning to speak their agreement with your statement.

Well I have lots of opinions but I rarely pay any attention to them..rather I prefer to wander in the opposite direction, not really wander but to wander is to be human and to be human is be confused and to be confused all you have to do is listen to your wife if you are married and if you get married you are confused.
Hope this will clarify my previous post on this thread.
