Of why I got into DIY loudspeaker-building.
As you allude to---"one of" the most critical aspects of sound is the loudspeaker/room interaction. IMHO, it’s the MOST important aspect of the total sound.
In my experience, the best possible way to achieve "the absolute sound" in YOUR room---- is to design your OWN speakers that are matched to YOUR given room and YOUR given equipment. This way you can "tune" the speakers to be as bright, dull, bass heavy, bass light as you want! That is, as long as you know what you are doing.....
Yeah, Matt Polk (or whoever made them) made those speakers you have for what sounded best in HIS room at the time, with HIS equipment. How in God's name he expects that to transfer to the thousands of other systems and rooms out there using those speakers just makes me scratch my head! No knock on Polk (that's actually, along with PSB, B&W, Maggies and Paradigm, the brand names I recommend to all non-audio/family friends who want to walk into local stores and buy decent and inexpensive speakers around here), it’s the same with 99.7% other speaker manufacturer's too!
OK, I'm off my soap-box for the night.....
Regards,
Joel
