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.
