Well, we're a bit off topic here, but psychoacoustics is a very mature science that studies how humans hear and perceive sound. I'm a member of the Acoustical Society of America, and that discipline is well represented among our membership. Indeed, if you look up Bell Labs original stereo patent (from 1936) youl'll see references to important psychoacoustic work on human perception by some folks at Harvard. Bose's best known contribution to home listening is the reflecting loudspeaker that bounces sound off the wall behind it, with the intent of providing some of the difusion inherent in good concert halls. There are better ways to achieve a high quality home listening experience, but Bose is NOT about heavy bass. The various signal processing games that Lyle is playing are based on some well known fundamental psychoacoustic principles. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
