Sadly, most speakers sound much better out in the room, and that tends to have a terrible, if not totally unacceptable WAF. Quads, Maggies, etc have to be six feet or so from the back wall. They (and other dipoles) are not nearly as sensitive to side walls, floor and ceiling as normal box speakers, but you can't get the imaging unless they are out. And glorious imaging is what those speakers can deliver. > - there appears to be very little correction to take out individual > peaks and troughs. Just quite a smooth correction profile. Depending on your room dimentions, it can be very hard, if not impossible to correct it with EQ. > - and most important, why do all except No Correction sound terrible!? Sorry, can't help there. I've always wanted a number of speakers that have low to zero WAF, I'd have to buy a new house with a room just for stereo, and that isn't going to happen. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
