| Horn speakers with Imaging? Wow, seeing this thread pop up is a trip down memory lane. Eighteen years ago I wrote the first reply of this thread, and then-unnamed prototype speaker I mentioned was the magnificent Summa by Earl Geddes. Earl ended up selling his designs direc... | |

| Best Way four Bass Array @jeffseight wote: "I have heard DBA, Distributed Bass Arrays in two home systems that both qualify as "Best Home Sound" I have heard. I have not been in every high end home system but I have experienced some pretty good ones. Here is the outline ... | |
| Open Baffle Experience In response to Kenjit's post about me above: For the record there are two apparently very different sides to the story, but imo this thread is not the place for either side. | |
| Open Baffle Experience @johnnycamp5, here are four reasons why I think the spectral balance of the reflections should be similar to the spectral balance of the direct sound: 1. Timbre is more natural when the reflections fully support the first-arrival sound. Where the... | |

| Starting from scratch in a large room @deertrail7, what are the horizontal and vertical dimensions of your 24" deep shelf? The reason I ask is, in that size room adequate SPL capability and low-end air-moving capability are going to be an issue, and both of those tie back in to louds... | |

| Raising Subs? Imo an advantage of using more than one subwoofer is that you can distribute them far apart and asymmetrically such that each is a different distance from the room boundaries. The result is a significantly different room-interaction peak-and-di... | |
| Another HiFi Listening Room help request @hleeid, the Magnums are sold by my colleague James Romeyn, as he lives near the cabinet shop that builds the enclosures. But I think a set would eat up too much of @bionicgiblets33’s budget. Speakerhardware.com sells subwoofer kits that I design... | |
