In the Thread: How to USE “Resonating Oops” in loudspeakers
Post Subject: Do benefits vary according to scale?Posted by Paul S on: 5/11/2007
Very interesting.  I tried something similar years ago but was foiled by inumber of problems, including the fact that I was trying to drive it all with a single stereo SS amp.  I just could not get anything consistent, and in my case any and all shifts in position, mine or the added speakers', changed things so radically that I quickly became discouraged and abandoned the project.

Good to hear you have found a sweet spot for your "oops" speakers.  That has to be huge.

But my question regards musical scale.  Do you find equal benefits from the same oops levels (and/or placement) with all types of music at all listening levels?

Not to lump you in with them in any way, but you may have heard for yourself that the Cogent system either includes or allows a lot of resonance, which I thought better suited large scale works than smaller and/or lighter fare, and this was +/- the case with my own limited, unsuccessful experiments, as well.

Do you find it desireable to manipulate the "oops" in any way on a case-by-case basis?  If so, how do you do this?

Best regards,
Paul S
