Editing Introduction to a Self Managed Life: a 13 hour & 28 minute presentation by FUTO software (section)

=== Expensive equipment is a priority over acoustic treatment ===

When you look on audiophile webforums, you will see people with Krell amplifiers, wilson watt puppy speakers, and lavry digital to analog converters in untreated drywall rooms. No bass traps. No acoustic panels. It’s insane.

A $400 stereo in a good room will beat a $40,000 stereo in an untreated room.

Avoid falling into the trap of spending thousands on equipment that doesn’t deliver proportionately better sound. Focus on well-designed, affordable electronics, and you’ll have a setup that works amazing in your living room without emptying your wallet.
