Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Thanks for more humor!

Your so called tests are filled with sight bias.

How little your assumptions about me are accurate! I always close my eyes to evaluate audio gear.

In fact, one thing that annoys me about my Polk center speaker is that it is a two and a half way design. Which generally is a good thing and works fine in a vertical position. Although the cabinet is truly centered, I am aware that the origin of most of the sound is slightly to the right where the "midrange" driver is located. It would block the screen if I stood it up and it's as wide as the rack so I really cannot shift its lateral location nor the rack itself.



Your apparent lack of localization due to stereo subs has eliminated localization to one sub.

This is what I'm saying.

If I were to walk around your room, I would hear uneven bass response depending where I am standing.

Not only do I agree, I've measured it! Unlike my dedicated music room, the HT is in the family room where my options for placement are limited. On the other hand, I don't walk around the room while enjoying the HT. :)

Ideally, I would like to have a set of The Swarm designed by fellow inmate Duke LeJeune.
