"I do think in the domestic environment, the people that have sufficient equipment don’t pay enough attention to room acoustics. The pro audio guy will prioritize room acoustics and do the necessary treatments to make the room sound right. The hi-fi world attaches less importance to room acoustics, and prioritizes equipment; they are looking more at brand names and reputation."
- ChrisGranger 12y agoThis, absolutely. The single most important thing in the audio chain from the electrical plug at the wall to your ears is the room... An actual live musician can still sound poor in an acoustically-terrible room.
