| I can prove your room is bad @erik_squires asked: " Lets say there is a speaker with good forward and poor off-axis response. How do you suggest an audiophile discover this with no tools but their ears?" Excellent question! First, make your best estimate of what frequency reg... | |
| I can prove your room is bad @erik_squires : "Oh, no, not me. :) That’s why I stated in the OP that the difference is in fact the combination of the room and speaker dispersion." Thanks for replying; we’re on the same page there. What I’m getting at is, in my opinion, sometim... | |

| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science In my opinion, one of the concepts Amar Bose got right was this: The spectral content and amount of energy in the reverberant field matters. His measurements of typical ratios of direct to reflected sound in a concert hall led to the Bose 901, w... | |
