Pretty much, and I don't think my stylish cardboard and wood-shavings condo is going to make expensive Totem Acoustic speakers sound their best... I had a pair of affordable Paradigm floor-standing speakers, but everything sounded hollow. They sounded great in the store, that happened to be a field-stone and timber construction with corner room treatments, etc
In my dry-wall and toothpick chamber, the sound just bounces around randomly. So then I got rid of the big speakers and got tiny QUAD ones, and that's all I need. I can of course tell the difference from a premium setup, but I can't afford a nice home.
I can also tell Angus steak from grocery-store all-beef hot dogs, but ... money.
Hot dogs it is.
