Re: When is it time to spend on the room?

No time like the present. In a well treated room, you may find the desire to upgrade gear dissipate. Modest gear in a well treated room can sound better than great gear in a crappy room. I think the room is the most underestimated and ignored component of a system, and the most important. I recently built a custom designed room, and although I thought my system and sound were pretty good before, the results after were staggering. Prior to this project, I'd always DIY treated for bass modes and side wall/ceiling reflections with definite improvemnts, and without exhorbitant expense. That and speaker/listening position adjustments are reasnoably inexpensive ways to get the most from your system. It's a wise investment that may save you money in the long run.
