Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I don't agree or disagree - just have a more insightful, maybe even more useful comment...

Greater weight should not blanketly be given to on axis response or power response without first assessing the other half of the equation - room response. As noted by Toole, the ultimate response heard in rooms that are more highly absorptive will be more affected by direct, on axis loudspeaker response. Those rooms that are more highly reflective will have the opposite situation in which power response plays a vital role. Blanket statements are seldom accurate in this arena. When it comes to acoustics, the details determine what the outcome will be and generalizations are practically useless - all generalizations except for this actual statement about generalizations, of course.
