RE: Rooms

My only point was that both Music Lover's stores are not the same. :)

You are absolutely right about "audiophiles" not getting the need for acoustics. I recently read a review by Michael Fremer (I think) in which he bemoans the lack of bass in his completely untreated listening room. Well? No wonder! :) He's reviewing $20k+ speakers in a poor environment.

During a recent event comparing DAC's I heard an audiophile, who brought in a very nice sounding unit, disparaging room treatments. He buys homes, and if they don't have the right acoustics by design he doesn't move in. That was the moment I realized I might very well be in the wrong crowd. Life is too short to live with boomy or weak bass and my money too precious to spend it trying to swap amps, cables or my living space to get it right.

The Magico listening room is magnificent and practically a concert hall. It really is magnificent. I've only heard the S1 Mk II. It was nice for a two way, but kind of an odd speaker to buy in terms of it's space and power requirements.

I really wish I had a chance to listen to their larger works.

Best,


Erik
