Room
treatments are the most grossly overlooked and misunderstood
aspect of hi-end audio.
A
well treated room will make even entry level hi-fi gear
sound better then an untreated room containing the very
best audio gear money can buy.
Understanding
what to do and how to do it is actually less difficult then
trying to decide what cables to buy.
We
want you to address your listening space, especially
if you own our gear because we want it to sound
great in your home!
Un-treated
rooms mask or skew the differences in cables, speakers and
all audio components. This is exactly why audiophiles
feverishly buy and sell gear, and what fuels the audio placebo
market.
In
a properly treated listening space the resolution at which
you can hear is at least doubled making it easier to hear
the fidelity of any component.
People
who have treated rooms are more inclined to step off the
buy and sell marry-go-round of audio gear and start listening
to music.
I
calculate the return on investment is 2 to 1. For every
dollar spent on treatments you save two dollars on your
never ending quest to make your system sound better.
