The important thing is that the room _interacts_ with the music and changes the characteristics of the music on the route from your speakers to your ears. If you have crappy sound coming out of the speakers then room treatment can't cure that, but a crappy room or poor speaker placement can seriously degrade the quality of the sound before it gets to your ears. And in that case you can keep upgrading your equipment until the cows come home (to provide milk for the cheese, of course) and it won't do any good until you fix the room.
Or to use your analogy, imagine those objects in the room are fine paintings. How much you see in them depends very much on the quality of the light in the room, which is dictated in part by the curtains. If the curtains are too dark (or too light) then you can't enjoy the paintings as much, even though the paintings are still the same objects in the room. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82520 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
