The speakers are practically in the room corners with what I'd judge to be about 30 to 40 degrees of separation from the listening seat. Not my idea of an ideal set up for any speakers, much less speakers with omni bass and probably lots of soundstage depth capability.

There seems to the be a tradition of loudspeaker placement and listening location that puts things as you say, speakers near the walls, a long way from the...

I'm not really sure there are these two camps. Or maybe "camp 1" is a tiny minority -- the number of 90-degree home setups I've seen is zero, and the number...
Just so we're clear, this is Robert Harley's set up, not Harry Pearson's. It also appears to be a dedicated audio/video room. Yes, for current commercial...

Sorry for the last two non-messages. I don't know what happend? Related to the idea of imaging, it would be interesting to know "how" composers "hear" their...
Actually, this is incorrect in my opinion, that the composers do not hear in their inner ear the sound as it will blend in the hall. I am surprised that anyone...

Photos can be quite deceptive. For example, it really looked to me as though Tony was sitting a long way back from his speakers (in the photos in the tonycdk...
If your dimensional assumptions are correct, then the subtended angle between the two speakers is about 44 degrees. If the angle between the speakers isn't...
I'm wondering, if one is using measurements such as the Tact provides, one is safe in assuming that the optimal location for speakers in a room is the ...
For stereo reproduction, you need to place your speakers in such a way that the spatial qualities on the recordings are well reproduced. That is usually not...
Thanks, Tom. I do care something about stereo-spatial presentation and have arrived at a set-up that does this well (90 degreee/near-field). Fortunately, I...
What do you mean by "improved the measurements significantly," Ned? Do you mean flatness of the graphed uncorrected response? Or do you mean how good it...

Hi Tom, Thanks very much for your reply and your suggestions for properly using the Tact for measurements. What I meant by improved measurements is that by...

Ok, Tom. When I do my 50 pulse average, I'll check my target curve and make sure it's below all peaks. Ned **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun...
The target curve should also be below all dips, or below the lowest spot in the curve if there is nothing you'd call a "dip." Below I'm copying what I wrote a...
Tom, don't fool yourself. You have to consider a correction as a relative correction first. An example: you have a perfect horizontal target curve. Thus the...
