All localization of sounds is high end, low end is non-directional, which is how subwoofers work. Sound staging is all about phase and timing. It is next to impossible unless the speakers are several feet away from the rear and side walls, and your head needs to be several feet from the walls all around. Good sound stages and high WAF are hard to meet. Serious monitors in the BBC mode can do it well, and Quads and Maggies and similar electostatics typically do amazing stuff. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
