Hi Audiotroy
So the 4 rooms is what you have? You don't have any dedicated listening rooms?
thanks

What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1?
Lately I'm finding more of a difference in SQ as a move up the chain in the amp/preamp/integrated market and not so much if I try to upgrade speakers. Plus, buying and selling (and shipping) speakers is a PITA. But having just upgraded from Devialet D200 to the dual mono D400 and loving it, it feels odd having $8000 (I'm in the used market almost exclusively) worth of power running $4000 worth of speakers, Dynaudio Contour 30's.
I'm now wanting to upgrade again to the Expert Pro 440, but then we're taking about $10,000 and even more of a skewed ratio.
What is the proper ratio? Thoughts?

None pictured behind Legacy Speakers https://www.facebook.com/audiodoctor1/photos/rpp.122499304489958/1774497322623473/?type=3&theater Showroom 3 is a starter audio room no treatements. https://www.facebook.com/audiodoctor1/photos/rpp.122499304489958/1781646778575194/?type=3&theater Showroom 4 is a dedicated Home Theater room with two live walls and two dead walls, custom absorptive and diffusive panels, walls are reinforced laminates of plywood, with mass loaded vinyl, green glue and sheetrock, custom ceiling treatments, custom floor riser with tactical transducers. https://www.facebook.com/audiodoctor1/photos/a.813391035400778/1774439705962568/?type=1&theater Does that suffice for you, most of the high end dealers don’t have any treatments and most rooms are just sheetrock boxes.

Yes Michael most stores are not 100% compromise free. We don’t have the luxury of having a room with just one pair of speakers. We can assure you our rooms sound very good. We use a balance of natural acoustics and devices designed to break up standing waves as well as using passive room tuning devices such as resonators, Tube traps, custom acoustic panels, Shakti Holographs and Stein Harmonizers which we are sure you don’t endorse, however, many people do. Funny we didn’t see anyone at AXPONA using Michael Green audio products wonder why? Doubly so in terms of your clamping racks want to tell Critical Mass what they are doing wrong? It seems that their products were all over AXPONA and again nobody was using yours. Used to use your products at SBS they were mildly effective, seems the industry has moved beyond you perhaps? Michael proof is in the putting, if you were such a genius at what you do your products would be everywhere. We can end this conversation now, the market speaks loudly. |
