Most people think that acoustics consist only of a neutral process (buying panels) to let the gear speak...Jay think this as most people do....
It is why i said that most people had no idea of acoustics, especially about small room ...
Acoustics is the main factor in audio, the gear is a secondar6y artefact, important for sure but with no acoustics active control (mechanical+DSP +psycho-acoustics) any piece of gear at any price will underperform at a great extent ...
I think Jay did not consulted an architectural acoustician because it cost too much if we add this to all the rest of cost of his beautiful renovation indeed... Also his room must be designed to sell gear... it must not be too different room from his customer room...it cannot be a dedicated acoustic architectural room like mike Lavigne for example...I can be wrong here, i did not know his budget anyway... ![]()
Between the TOP acoustic architecture possible in the world and a living room there exist a vast distribution of possibilities...Jay’s actual room is one and will resemble to many of his customers room...
Esthetic here must play a role... I co0ngratulate him for his two rooms ... I like them ...
but many here had beautiful dedicated rooms too ...
Are they perfect ?
No...
Are they optimal ?
A few are without doubt... We must be there to evaluate....
One thing is certain : Us, who are not sellers, we must pick a specific synergetical gear system and then create a dedicated room around it to elevate it to his peak working level... At any price nevermind our budget, the rule dont change...
Jay will use his rooms to sell products...it is a bit a different situation...
I wish him luck because he invested so much...
