Anthony, this is very interesting perspective. I associate my feeling in respect to sensitivity but you brought up the activity as something which certainly coupled with sensitivity. I do not think that we have a mythologically clean experiment how we get one without another so the answer will be hanging in the air. What I found in your hypothesis is very interesting that my frustration with my condo begin developed after I spent a lot of time playing with the room reverberation. It might be two view on it. First, that I developed more taste to hear more reflective sound where Macondo is certainly in disadvantage to other wild spraying speakers. Second, is that reverberation injections changed the way how Macondo should be designed properly.
I was thinking about it a lot when I first discovered reverberation injection in a few months ago. It is not that reverberation fundamentally change anything about Macondo. However I spent a long time playing with Macondo trying to find appropriate loading to output transformers with given specific drivers. As you know you can drastically change virility of attack and decay of response by idle more or idle less output tube of amplifier. Each tube behaves differently, each amplifier behave differently each power supply behave differently and of course each driver react differently. Part of the whole idea of the proposed Macondo-Milq assembly that it represent from my point of view balance loading how different channels supposed to be loaded in context of given drivers to produce overall sounds that I consider proper sound across various actabes and various dynamic ranges. So 3 months ago when I was discovering reverberation injection I was asking myself multiple questions if my judgment about drivers loading should be revised in context of listening with injected reverberations. I don't have answers but it is very possible that it should be as much as it is very possible that my relationship is listening distance in context of Macondo might be revised in a long run.
It would be very interesting to hear Bill's view on the subject. He has been listening surround, not reverberated but surround sounds, for many years and he is much more sensitive an experienced to the subject of reflections then me. He is kind of freak over nature who informed me that he hears the reflections that one of my wall cup of feet closer to loudspeakers than another. I do not have the sensitivity and although I feel that it has very little practical meaning but purely from prospective that you present it might be useful to consult with him.
