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? ; )

Surely, it is important to some of us.  When I have accoustical issues I tackle the job when it becomes obvious. None of us has the same room situations.  And don't call me Shirley.

I think that room acoustics merits it's own category, if for no other reason than the number of manufacturers and products has clearly demonstrated it is a viable product category.  

It's not unreasonable to say that most of the discussions on A'gon fall along the pattern of ("I need something better than x, should I buy A, B or C?").

You and I had an offline conversation about this once. I prefer my main system in the family room instead.  I was describing what my wife would do to me if I was caught trying to place weird round tall column tubes in corners and strange objects hanging from the ceiling. Or when moving family room furniture around too much. All nothing she would have acceptance for, and it became a real factor when I realized it would be me hanging from ceiling soon if I kept it up.  Whut, LOL! surprise

I consider my hobby was once, in the period i learned it about : acoustics and his relation to the three others workings dimensions +Psychoacoustics factors...

 For most people instead of being the ground of audiophilia  it is an optional decorative ceiling... 

The main business of audio threads is marketing, well inspired or not ...

 

This will not change... People dont read books and anyway nobody experiment under his wife eyes in a living room ...

 

 I am done with purchasing (except for replacing a broken piece) I learned acoustics. Now my hobby is music and A.I. studies... smiley
