| What's the size of your listening room and/or ht? Rives:Can you tell us little more about your walls or sources for information on benefits of your approach? Looking at Everest's Masterhandbook of Acoustics it seems somewhat unclear. He calls the benefit "nominal" and says "splaying walls only in... | |
