Best bang for the buck

I asked my partner if it would be a good idea to listen to some “Shiit Audio”.

Her reply was,  as expected, “It can’t be very good with a name like that”

She would probably give a similar answer if l asked her “What is a “Shih Tsu?” and say, “A zoo with not a lot of animals in it”

@balthazarjw lmao so tru

Room treatments. Next best value ratio was building the Satori Helios Textreme speakers, but with the beryllium tweeters. 

@balthazarjw 😀 THC--what sent me on my audio journey--first time i had ever listened into the music and the first album i heard was Days of Future Passed--opened the audio rabbit hole.  Only do it occasionally any more but never regret.

@dtorc -my story is similar but cheaper--i did a phone call with Jim for $175--was supposed to be a half hour but he stayed with me for 1.5 hours and guided me through the tweaks i needed in the room--thought about hiring him to come and listen but after the call the sound was so good and good enough.  Best money i ever spent--RIP Jim

Owning a stereo in my room is only possible with room treatment and to a lesser degree, subwoofers. That added up fast for me, though.  I already posted about it but submit that a pair of Hales Transcendence 5s in nice condition for $1400 is the deal of my audio life.
