One more tangent on room acoustics: Let's say that your listening room is less than perfect, as they all are. Your room is "L" shaped; the ceiling is too low; there are too many reflective surfaces, and so on. Now let's stretch reality a bit and say that for one evening, you can have your favorite musician come to your house and play for you, right there in your room. Miles Davis, Pavarotti, Jimi Hendrix, Dmitri Rostopovich, Bonnie Raitt - anyone you want. Their performance is electrifying - they take your breath away and give you goose bumps. And you know what? Their voice, trumpet, or cello was subject to the same imperfect room acoustics that your system is; yet the emotional impact of the performance was unforgettable. Could the room sound better? Sure, but do you see now how that's a secondary concern? You may not have complete control over the acoustics of your room, but you do have control over how musical the equipment you choose is. Overture Audio sells the equipment that does the best job of reproducing that live performance thrill, regardless of your budget. Print This Page
