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? ; )

No. Audiogon prefers fake news like cables changing sound. Why would they dedicate something to the most important part of your entire audio experience like room acoustics.

Just imagine how much better their rooms would sound if they had put as much of that money as their living space would allow into acoustics.

You're assuming that spending money on audio cables and spending money on acoustic treatments are mutually exclusive. Odd.

I don't get why these super expensive rooms leave the hardwood floor untreated. (Jays new rooms have high gloss, super reflective floors.) Because it looks nice and even more expensive? Treat the ceiling but don't treat the incredibly reflective floor?  In this room they could have put wall to wall carpet would be a huge improvement but they treat the ceiling and walls with expensive panels instead. 

Makes me question if the motive is really acoustic sound improvement or it just looks impressive.

Better?

Floor first reflections are covered by a 9’x13’ half inch hand cut wool over 3/8" felt pad. The best I could do. And wall to wall carpeting would potentially deaden the room too much.
