What’s the Sweet Spot price point wise in your audio journey?
I ask the question because there are so much gear at vastly different price points. My sweet spot is the 15-30k range. That’s where my speakers, amp, and Dac for the most part sets. There are good things below the prices but there is synergy and price/performance when purchasing audio. For some folks it’s the 5-15 range. It just depends on what you budget is you can fund great stuff all over Audio. Thoughts! No negativity. Just real answers.
@abnerjack “Maximum perceived….sweet spot”I Has absolutely nothing exclusively to do with sound, or dollar spent. For example…. I just made it, sitting quietly on my table in front of me now. The sweet spot of my home made latte is perfect, with just the added threat of a quarter tea spoonful of sugar.
l will not bring the three bears story into the debate for that sweet spot. |
@mylogic Do you think the home made latte is the sweet spot and that a handcrafted one at Starbucks or your favorite local coffee spot is diminishing returns ? |
starbucks in general. l have my own coffee maker and grind my coffee beans. No art to that. l do not rate starbucks highly. That’s why l spell it with a small s. Too much froth so the “handcrafted” experts over achieve in milk content ratio to maximise profits. l’ve avoided starbucks for 20+ years in all probability. A sweet spot only if l would have shares in the company. |
I dont use the expression "sweet spot" to describe the maximal perceived ratio of S.Q. / price different for each of us... I use the concept of "minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold" we can reach or not, which perceived threshold imply some relatively good balance level between all the acoustical factors involved, which balance we can objectively understand and implement ... We need to study acoustics a bit to understand our own subjective/objective situation...(acoustics is not mere room acoustic). Forget reviewers... Forget audio magazine... read articles and books... |
