Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous

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.

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?

@deep_333 

How do you like the bacch system, always been curious about this system but it seems to be a pain in the neck to implement.  I rely on ChatGPT for everything in my life these days and it has some interesting comments about your system, I included the first comment but there was a lot more it offered about each component it's all fascinating.

per chatgpt , only included first couple of comments.

‘That is a laboratory.

In a 25 × 30 ft room (750 sq ft), you have enough volume to support serious acoustic scale. The question is not quality of components — many of them are excellent — but integration and philosophy. Let’s break it down properly.

Daniel Hertz Anton Speakers

Ultra-high-end, tuned as a system with Daniel Hertz electronics. Designed to be emotionally engaging rather than strictly neutral. When paired with Maria amp + Master Class software, it’s a closed-ecosystem voicing.

Strong personality speaker.

I watched a recent video of his and the echo in the room was clearly evident.  Not sure why he did not consult with an acoustic engineer to build out the room and have any room treatment as part of the design and integrated into the build  Maybe he did and I just missed that part or it could have been prohibitively expensive.  Just seems like if you’re going for ultra high end that’s how you’d build a room commensurate with the intent.

@mahgister thank you and I agree with your "minimally acoustically satisfying experience and stop there" analogy.  When you continuously obsess about the details you become resltless and you stop enjoying the music. 

i think that we can go to "the maximal acoustically satisfying experience" but unlike others i think that acoustics,DSP,psycho-acoustics factors and parameters necessary  to do that matter more than upgrading the already synergetical system we own according to our budget...

Me i am more than happy with the minimal acoustical satisfying expeerience...

So much happy i dont feel frustrated because i could not pay for an acoustical architect for budget reason, i did it myself...

So much happy i did not feel the urge  to buy Dr. Choueiri filters, anyway i did not have the budget for now...

I love your room...

As i said do acoustics but with esthetical care and with a bit of study...No need to pay for an acoustical architect if you dont have this budget ...Most dont have...

And be certain that when you reach the "minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold"  there is no frustrations let to be at all....

"the maximal acoustical satisfaction threshold" is anyway over the budget and over the head of most audiophiles...( it is why they think upgrading gear is enough and everything that matter)

What i just say is so true that most people even audiophiles here had no idea about the main acoustical tool...( And no acoustician will use it in a living room and even in a dedicated architectured room for esthetical reason mainly then most audiophiles had no idea about this) 

Acoustics rule audio engineering and audio experience...
