I don't understand what you are arguing about. I have wanted to have a house with a room to have real Klipshorns since I heard them in the 60s. But I have never had such a house. Nor do I have a room to hold Quads. > Every speaker is different, and every room is different...and barring > aesthetic and practical concerns, how speakers get placed in a room > starts with some methodology and can be optimized for that situation. > I don't see this as a tweak...I see it as proper setup... Proper setup is a fine name, but a huge number of people have no clue what that means. Even ancient bookshelf speakers such as AR3a and Large Advents, which defined the term bookshelf speakers, sound better away from the wall. Sure you trade off bass boost, but the rest of the sound improves. I just don't understand what you are arguing about. Proper placement, tweak, whatever, its all the same. And its cheap. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
