In Reply to: Omni-directional speakers better for problematic rooms? posted by dave123456@mail.com on January 11, 2009 at 02:29:02:
Omni's can create a pleasing effect.
The "problems" are that it does that to all recordings, everything sounds spacious and just like your room, regardless of how or where the recording was made. Worst, it's an effect one can't turn off.
If one chose to judge "accuracy" based on your ability to understand words, then one finds that the higher the direct sound level is compared to the reflected the more words you can hear.
For "hearing and preserving information", either spoken words or recorded stereo image, then the directional speaker which produces a lower level of reverberant sound is vastly better.
Best,
