Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

I went down the digital & dsp route, room correction and that sort of thing.

Yeah that’s the route my pal has gone. He’s running a fairly basic class D amp but speakers with self-measured Thiele and Small parameters, with room correction with dsp that he just measured using a basic microphone. If I’m completely frank, I think his self-corrected setup sounds better than my other mate’s hifi which runs well into 5 figures.

Fascinating stuff and I had no idea how easy it is to do now. I think back how hard it was to accurately measure Thiele and Small on a speaker when I was at school, sat there with a signal generator and scope borrowed from the Physics department and bits of blutac and still not managing it!
