My 2nd wife had a ax to grind on my tri-amp'd big KEF transmission line cabinets that where about 4.5 feet tall. I simply ignored her plight and she eventually came around and enjoyed them in the living room with the TV and rack of gear. I think it was all a test to see what I would do. I never passed I simply got her to adjust.What does WAF have to do in the big picture of this?
How many serious audiophiles at the income level that lets them afford $10-50k+ speakers don't have a dedicated room in their home where WAF is still an issue? Much of the photos I see on the net from these folks have beautiful listening rooms with handsome but not too WAF room treatments and such, man caves in street language filled to the brim with gear. Why would anyone put this kind of investment into HiFi and then have it turn out sounding like crap because of a lousy sounding room?
WAF may be a huge factor at the mid-fi level of income/expenditure but when you step into the very top levels of the hobby, WAF is a non-issue.
