Mark, we are talking about the "quality" of, or the degree of interference with or enhancement by, whatever the question is about? I mean, what's the point of talking about "rooms", what sort of dumb question is that, how many people stick their hifi out in the back yard to listen to ...??Why hasn't someone started a thread yet that asks how important electricity is? And I don't mean the quality thereof, just the fact we have it. That would make as much sense as the topic of this thread.

Electricity, we can live without it. ... Solar panels energy, windmills (wind turbines), rechargeable batteries, underwater current energy, waves energy, snow energy, potatoes generators, ...
In the context of what Mark was saying: to listen to audio you "normally" need electricity to power the equipment, a room to play it back in, and one's ears to listen to it. Beyond the physical achievement therefore of achieving the sensation of sound in your head, you then can think about, discuss, debate how much the behaviour or characteristics of those aspects contribute to the quality of the sound you listen to ...

Bob-Think about what you just said. You said you can live without electricity, but then you name a bunch of alternative sources for electricity. We aren't talking about where it comes from, just the fact we have it and need it to power our gear.
Bob,
You should stop this dangerous talk. Soon someone will start defending that his system sounds better when he is using non nuclear electricity
I wonder how Bob would recharge his batteries without electricity??

Yes, the qualities of the room are important, especially if you're trying to achieve the best accuracy in the lower octaves of bass reproduction. The comment was meant to be sarcastic, in the same vein as Mark's earlier quip.Or are you still of the feeling that the room is the least important
I already do; the sun (natural outside daylight).
But you knew that right? Recharging your batteries from solar panels ... And I got five of them right now outside on my front yard that are just doing that, and it's a fact. :b
Bob-If you owned a battery powered preamp and power amp and it was time to recharge the batteries, you couldn’t take them outside and plop them on your driveway and let the sun beat down on them and recharge the batteries. Even if you did a dance to the sun god, your batteries won’t recharge. You would have to have some good old-fashioned electricity.
The batteries used in audio equipment are not solar rechargable like your outside lights. Kind of like electric cars, they have to be plugged in to a pesky old electrical outlet to recharge.
