Reviewer Rooms

I do find the pics fansinating. Shocking actually. BUT . . . .

In many ways - what difference does a room make if you are comparing one component to another? The room will react the same - with that said you still can make comparisons of the items. Even if it might sound a whole lot better in a different room. The differences between components are still there.

Obviously speakers are a different matter - some speakers will work better in a bad and or cluttered room and some will work better in a neat room. So who knows on that one.
 
I thought if you placed a component for 8 weeks in such a room you could analyse it
 
I still have vivid memories/observations of calling on Harry Pearson & Gordon Holt for the first time in the '70s - when I worked for ARC. Since they have passed, there's no need to put it all out there. Let's just say that each was an appalling experience for me, as I had followed both of them closely for years... :disbelief:

No, I average out across many rooms in multiple set ups, in fact, owners of the equipment email back to say how spot on I have got the gear attributes.

Two guys with no stereo systems and therefore no personal reference visiting people and listening to their stereo systems and averaging what out?? Your opinions based on a few hours listening to a strange setup in a strange room and comparing those notes against another listening session in another strange room?
 
Mep,

Errr,

I think Bonzo gave his personal reference as live music and for STEREO, it's MikeL system, , Well I think that's what he said on his blog where he records his trips and voices his "opinion" and BTW, it doesn't take much if your pretty keen really, why in 2 or 3 mins i can tell your a Reviewer, but not just any kind, my keen senses say fascist reviewer on steroids ...


Errr, just saying ......

Let's see if the majority of people on AS agree with your low opinion of me. If they do, I will quit AS and never post here again.
 
You just made my point , no one is asking you to leave, so why drag the others in after taking a dig at Bonzo , then Ron, who is not even here ..


They only giving their opinion, not writing a prescription ........
 
Mark - we definitely value you here. Big time. We may not always agree, but your contributions are always welcome.
