Circa 1999 I had a 27" picture tube tv mounted in a cabinet (GE I think). Whenever I put (e.g.) a football game on I could distinctly hear the higher frequency components of crowd noise coming from spots far outside the span of the tv set with its usual pair of small front-firing speakers. I marveled at it and wondered how to replicate the psychoacoustics. Several years later the picture went bad, and I found to my dismay that the replacement tv (same type, size, mounting etc. but a different brand) did not produce the effect. I had expected that whether the effect was from the old tv or from some acoustic anomaly related to its mounting position in the room, I would hear the same thing. I never did, nor have I heard it again with the flatscreens that have since replaced the old beasts.
Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about
I thought this could be fun and actually helpful for some of us wanting something different in our collection.
One recording that I show off my system with is
Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments.... at the beginning of this track, there is a bird chirping, on my system, it is about 3 feet beyond the left speaker and about 10 to 12 feet up, this bird flies forward, then turns and comes right above your head. Above your head, it is about 8 to 10 feet up, it then turns and flies away going right above the right speaker and disappears into the distance.
So, what else is there out there that we should all know about that you just know we would all like to have in our collection.
Please let us know, Tim
