General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Great imaging speakers

Is his room treated?

From what I've been able to learn, the speaker/room interaction is perhaps just as (more?) important than the electronics.

Put $10,000,000 system into a crappy room might not sound as nice as a $1,000 in an excellent sounding room.

Once heard some speakers that were intended to retail for about $25,000/pair. Heard them in a banquet room (hard floor/walls/ceiling) and the sound was near terrible.

Heard them in a quasi-treated room (fixing major issued, not fine tuned) and they were stunning.

What was intersting is, when they were in the quasi-treated room, the upstream electronics were a $50 CD player bought from WALMART, digital crossover and, if I recall, some QSC amps.

Absolutely smoked the sound in the banquet room... same speakers.
