Should Room Acoustics be an Audiogon ‘topic’?


The available topics on Audiogon do not include Room Acoustics. This area is as important as any other, and has a far greater impact on what we hear than amps, preamps, and cables put together, IMO. Does anyone know how to lobby to include it? Do I need to start a petition? ; )

Room acoustics is the basis to understanding the performance of your system. Without it, you are just guessing. Having a dedicated topic for it would be helpful for the ones who care to experience with it. However many will never care for it mainly because they are in no position to deal with it for various reasons. That's fine. A dedicated topic would be an easy way for them to bypass these conversations. For the ones who care, after spending the last ten years planning, building and acoustically treating my house of stereo, I share plenty of info about it under my system. If you take the time to go through the process, it will give you plenty of ideas about some of the possibilities that exist. It does take a serious commitment. It's a lot more intense than upgrading equipment but much more satisfying in the end. Enjoy the journey.

OF COURSE!!! It affects the sound of the system which is what we are trying to make as good as possible. Indeed it's part of the system whether you like it or not.

I have found a properly decorated aluminum Christmas tree with lights on a tube powered linear power supply with NOS Mullard rectifier to provide excellent diffusion. Christmas conic diffuser adds a bit of Dickens warmth and body to ghostly stereo images out beyond the speakers.  X

I’m not sure why you would ask if you can ask to talk about a subject on this forum.

I would simply ask the question or pose the subject and see where it goes, as it already has…

If you’ve followed this forum for as long as I have you should expect to have negative comments come your way as folks who participate on this forum always give a myriad of opinions on every subject, pro and con.

It’s already happening!!
