“Air”. I think the term was coined many years ago when some speaker manufacturer by shear luck managed to get something approaching driver coherence in their speaker. It was a revelation. ****. There was SPACE between instruments. WOW. It was luck because they didn’t have computer simulation...

Hehe Reminds me:

So be it then.

Just so we’re clear- you listened to these systems in person?

Absolutely agree Stefan. It is all relevant in the pursuit of musical enjoyment. Edit: That is, if one wants to reach higher levels of musical enjoyment.

I need to read it again to lock in my understanding the many processes described.

Hmm Yes, I see the point was completely missed by some

VERY informative, thanks!

I was really glad to find this bit of info. Especially the parts relating to why European speakers are different to American speakers. Why some recordings are totally immersive on my American speakers and some not so much. I’ve always been confused by some speaker manufacturers claiming “wide...

I thought this might be informative.

That’s fighting talk right there. Just kidding. I’m a stereo guy. I don’t know or care to know about Atmos and similar ways of cheating.😉 Who knows, maybe it is the future.

You seem to forget Deon, that music reproduction can only ever be from the perspective of the microphone/s. Of course we will never be able to reproduce the event. Accurate and authentic is pie in the sky. We have to work with what we are given- the mastered recording. Stick that media in front...

@Baseline This, and other comments you have made, I’m sorry to point out, only expose to me that you are not accustomed to listening to a high quality playback system.

That looks great @Shonver !!!

But you fell in the Cauldron when you were a baby. No you can’t have any…

They used an out of phase test tone to find speaker placement that sounded kak. That placement then, was the correct placement for the speakers when played normally.

“I’ll take it “ means to me that you are about to make contact and arrange payment. If that contact doesn’t happen within 30 minutes, I assume you’ve changed your mind and I move on. That’s for general forum members. If it comes from a forum friend who knows me personally, it’s a different story.
