Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous

@fire_water 

You are very lucky your room is absolutely perfect and cannot be criticized except for the windows which acoustically may be a problem however this is incredibly offset by the magnificent views and the location presumably in the middle of a very peaceful tranquil Woodlands environment that very few of us will ever be able to live in.

My guess is your speakers don't care much about the acoustical merits of a room because they look they can overcome any room challenges.  I'd love to know the history behind the animal skull on your wall but you probably share that only with those who are privileged enough to visit this incredible room.

I am not the only one it seems who is  directly insulted and answered in a sarcastic insulting way by this "idiot" who had no manner...

Suppose, dear idiot but i must say also  "friend", that my posts are only a "broken record",  what are  then your insulting posts added to almost  all of my posts since a year, if not instead of my repeated information, pure useless nauseating noise?

If i was alone  and the only one you treated as trash it will be nothing, but you acted as the "gentleman" you are with many others too...But i am the one you loved the most it seems... Thank you dear idiot and  dear friend  ...

Refine your wit though,polish your humor...if i can suggest a positive critic to a friend...buy also an insuts dictionary ...

Here one which is free: https://www.scribd.com/doc/79280821/Bad-Words-Dictionary

@jays_audio_lab   Hire this acoushhtic pshhychoacoushhtic Stephane’ Dookieois Hawking for all your acoushhhtic needs. We would all like to see him at work in your room, showcased on your youtube channel....We need him off welfare and gettin a real job

Warning: Make sure he doesn’t stick any helmholtz tubes/sippy straws in your ears or other orifices, i.e. don’t let him go too overboard as he brainstorms with his hawking acoushhhtic stuff

 

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 ...

@emergingsoul thank you. Where do I start? I'm a firefighter and I have a degree in architecture. I have a very active life as a firefighter, designing and building.  I love music and this space gives me peace.  I wanted it to reflect the countryside. The bison skull is from a local bison farm. All the wood with the exception of the floor was all sourced locally from my property and nearby farms. 

Acoustically my room isn't acoustically correct but I intend on correcting what I can with ceiling panels I've been considering. Unfortunately I can't really do much of anything on the walls given the interior finishes. But I did utilize 300 year old beams and split logs to create diffusors. And I have Rockwool Safe and Sound behind 3 walls. 

This room was never really meant to be perfect but over the last couple of years I've become increasingly interested in HiFi. And this is a problem because I'm now forever analyzing everything - components, spkrs, interconnects,  power cords,  USB cables. So where do you draw the line?

These forums have been educational and I've connected with some fine people.

Nevermind acoustics keep your room as it is....

Do not modify it too much...

Try to reach a minimally  acoustically satisfying experience and stop there ...

It is a very relaxing sight...

Congratulation fire_water !

Talk to experienced acousticians for whom it is their core line of work. You can retain thr aesthetics/decor of your room and take things up several notches.

Grimani Systems (Anthony Grimani, Acoustic Fields (i have their stuff), Poes Acoustics, etc are examples.
