SoundPath Lab · Decision engine v3.0 · Catalog v4.31.48

Build a system that actually connects.

Start with your room, budget, sources, equipment and non-negotiable interfaces. The Builder checks recommendation eligibility and complete signal paths, then returns up to three options with conditions, trade-offs and relevant reading. If the evidence does not support a complete path, it says so.

The interactive compatibility check will appear when its data files load. These verified paths remain readable and usable without JavaScript or on a weak connection.

How ranking works

A high-quality product can still be wrong for your system.

The Builder therefore refuses to collapse every decision into one inflated number. Reference prices are fixed planning estimates, not live offers, and commercial relationships carry zero ranking weight.

  1. 1 · Eligibility and compatibility gates. Every newly recommended product must be approved for recommendation, including any stated conditions. Source, output, room and every selected hard requirement must also pass before a system can be ranked.
  2. 2 · Product quality. Evidence, interoperability, technical capability, software, support, risk control and value form a stable 0–100 product score.
  3. 3 · Brand operations. Documentation, updates, interoperability, support and issue response form a separate operational score.
  4. 4 · User fit. Requirements, budget, room, product quality and connection certainty rank the surviving systems; repeated brands and architectures are penalized.
