I am interested in anything that will improve performance and consistancy both from a business and as a hobby. I fully understand that most people cannot afford the systems and solutions that I recommend but would hope that it would still be of interest to people. As I've said, I like sports cars and cant afford one but I still like Top Gear. I cant understand the problem with me talking about expensive hifis.
My main bug bare with hifi systems is that the ignore the tremendous impact that the room has on them. As a result many "audiophile" systems use speakers with no decent bass response which in my opinion makes the whole system seriously lacking.
Whatever system you use some room treatment with soft furnishings and moving furniture will help. Beyond this people could try measuring the in room response and using a an inexpensive parmaetric EQ feeding a separate sub to improve performance.
I simply think that the accepted formulae of buying ever more expensive hifi kit doesnt produce the results it should and people should look for more scientific approaches to improving the accuracy of their audio systems.
