You are right for the fact, wrong with the 90%........
Try the same source in two different room and you will know the importance of acoustic over almost anything else...
Like in a car tires are important but the motor import more...
What we hear come from the speakers/room for most of the S.Q. %...
Acoustic is the most important factor , engineereing is the SECOND factor...It is the opposite that what people think because we must buy an audio system first and chose one before treating and controlling the room for a specific system...Then we think that picking the system is all there is...
Why is acoustic the most important?
Because ANY relatively good design will play with a difference between them which will be way less than the difference between acoustically controlled room and a bad room ( almost all untreated and uncontrolled rooms)..
If i am wrong, then why am i satisfied with a 500 bucks system? It is not the best there is at all then am i deaf?
No it is not the best audio systewm at all, only a good one, but my room is so well controlled than a relatively good system at low price (vintage) sound extraordinarily good... So good upgrading is not appealing because of the ratio S.Q. /price scale diminishing return...
If i am deaf why my 7 headphones are in a drawer definitively?
Because acoustic is the sleeping princess and all pieces of gear are the 7 dwarves...
90%++ of the time, the source will improve the overall sound of an ok system, before anything else
