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? ; )

@tcutter If you put your mouse cursor over the arrow next to your ID at the top of the page you can then click on "Help"; Select "General" and then at the top right you will see "Submit a Request".  Click on that and select "Feature Request" and you will get a dialog box to fill out with what you are requesting.  In every instance that i did this it was Tammy who responded.  Make sure you refer to this thread as demonstrating interest in the topic and let's see what they say.

Given that 50% of what we hear is an aggregate of room reflections, I believe it should be addressed more frequently in our discussions.

That said, keep in mind that every situation is unique and subjective, therefor any suggestions given should be kept to generalities not necessarily specifics.

Brilliant! Thank you for the guidance.

I don't know why we would limit this topic when every audio system is unique and subjective. As you imply,  50% of what our systems sound like is due to the room component. If it is acceptable for topics on other audio components to include unique and subjective advice, judgement, etc., I see no reason why Room Acoustics should be any different.

Examples of unique topics from yesterday's Weekly Update are below. I imagine many of the conversations will focus on the subjective.

 

Anyone own one of these preamps?

I would also like to thank all contributors for a polite and thoughtful conversation.

It may be acceptable but I'm not a proponent of anyone judging SQ based on their personal biases on someone else's system and preferences.
