In the Thread: A listening room for a domesticated Cat?
Post Subject: Juts a proposal.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 11/3/2017
In my current scenario I
have slightly under 11 feet between the MF driver diaphragms. The optimum listening
distance in my view somewhere between 8.5 and 10 feet with the acoustic center
line pointed to shoulders. This is my typical configuration and it works for me
very well for me. The listening distance off cause is not set on stone and to
great degree is contingent upon the location of the speaker of the given
topology (and I am taking here ONLY about Macondo topology) in the room, the proximities
to the walls, the acoustic treatment and many other factors. That all is not a
mystery. The mystery is that as the listening distance is set that with any
other speaker topology you can slightly widen the distance between the speakers
and move the listening distance slightly further. With most of the speakers it
works fine but not with Macondo. As soon some “magic” balance of space vs
distance is violated the sound goes to hell much faster then I observe with any
other speakers.
I do not agree with the explanations
above. The leading idea that I have is that as the listening distance move
further then the time aliment curve become more flat. This screws us the time alignment.
This is just a proposal. I did not test is and do not realign the Macondo
timing if I move my listening chair a foot further. So, this effect would be
present in all acoustic systems that are tall have HF transducers at the peripherals.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
