About the importance of the room vs the electronics

Acoustics and Critical Listening.

As @ erik_squires and others have often mentioned ;  the room is often forgotten  . We  put too much amphasis
on electronics.

Who knows, with a very little room treatment , your Bose Wave Radio  may sound nearly as goog as the ´´ custom designed Tube Audio Components. DHT 101D Tube preamplifier, 6SN7 Tube preamplifier, 1010D Tube DAC, Tube Phono Stage, Hybrid Stereo amplifier ´´  that you built .  Your Bose may sound   ´´  like nothing you have ever heard before! ´´

I can get mad too.

Tell me where , you saw a comparaision between real instrument,
and electronics in this thread ?If you did , it is time you see a specialist .
You’re just upset because we caught you on the "vs" thing and the unfounded idea it’s one or the other. You are lost, dead lost. If you think a Bose Wave Radio can sound like a 300B tube amp in any room you are so lost it is fair to wonder if you are even on the same planet.

The greatest room in the world cannot turn a Bose Wave radio into a captivating stereo, but the greatest electronics in the world is going to sound insanely good even in a walk-in closet. Just not as good as in a bigger room. The room clearly is way less important than the electronics, or else there would be no good car systems. But there are some freaking insanely good car systems, so there goes that one.

What would be reasonable, intelligent, and defensible is to say the room is as worthy an element of a sound system as anything else. No more important than the AC line, the speaker cables, the cartridge, or any other component in the chain. But that for some reason is the last thing certain people will admit.

Now go ahead and attack me for getting it absolutely right one more time. Go on. Three, two, one....
Taking a truth and an evident experience for the few who experience it, that is to say an  adequate PASSIVE and ACTIVE room treatment AND controls will make all sound system works at their peak working level of S.Q. better than any upgrade of gear, and mocking it because someone dont understand that what we listen to is NEVER mainly  the electronic gear but the speakers/room where the gear is embedded is only revealing your own lack of experiments listening...

Nobody will contest than a bose system is less than some costlier gear, but at the end PICK one system, any of them, this will be night and day diffrence before the acoustical controls and after.... I know it firsthand.... Not by reading review magazine.... This is TRUE nevermind the cost of the system....
