There's a lot of discussion about room treatments and their place in the hierarchy of what's important in home audio reproduction. Here's a place we can delve into this a little deeper.
I'll include a poll for the sake of generating interest. Bear in mind it's not scientific. It's just opinion.
For starters, here's how I would sort things out.
1. Speaker choice
2. Speaker placement
3-A: Room
3-B: Room treatments
4-A: Pre/DAC
4-B: Amp
5. Dedicated power circuit
6. Everything else
As always, I reserve the right to change my mind, be influenced by the opinions of others, learn something, and be contrary. I'm sure the mods will keep it clean.
