The Audiophile next door....

While the photo of the room doesn't show much, it appears to be a untreated room. It amazes me that someone who obviously loves music and puts big bucks into equipment would ignore room acoustics/treatment.

You all are crackin' me up...

This thread now has me hooked on crack.

[impala454]

Hmm, dunno about y'all but I find it rather impossible to *NOT* sit on a crack

[wkhanna]

Honestly.........

I find it incredulous to see so many grown men complaining about a little crack.

[madmac]

The only downfall to sitting on the crack a lot is that it 'scews' the cushions on either side. When you do sit squarely on them, they send to lean in the direction of the crack!!. ACK!!

"Sit on the crack,”

Doesn't everyone sit on a crack every time they sit down? :>) When I found that my couch was too large to position so that one could sit squarely on a cushion and still be in the sweet spot, I got rid of the couch. I now have individual Ekornes chairs that can be easily rearranged at will.

[madmac]

Agreed. Buy a three seater couch and position it so the centre of the couch is in the sweet spot. You'll have the option of lying down if the going gets tough.

If it's a good sized couch 4 people will be able to sit on it comfortably for concerts and they'll all be in the sweet spot, albeit some in sweeter spots than others. There will be cracks everywhere but who's looking?

Sadly......our rather small living room had a sectional sofa in it and the spot it was in was non negotiable!. The crack was THE SPOT sadly !!!. I was happy to sit there.

BAAAHAHAHAHA!

No TRUE audiophile would set it up so you have to "sit on the crack" in the couch to get the sweet spot.

BAAAHAHAHAHA!

I totally get it. What a great article. And my wife was rather pissed lately when she saw the bill for some Cat Cables I just bought.

But this guy clearly is not a true audiophile. No TRUE audiophile would set it up so you have to "sit on the crack" in the couch to get the sweet spot.

[madmac]

I love the "Sit in the Crack" of the couch part. I've sat in the crack between two cushions of my couch for years because after many years of careful listening......That's the sweet spot!!. TRUE. Amen!.

Fun read!
