SBIR? I've racked my brain, looked in all the books. Can't find "SBIR". Is that an acronym for "sound bouncing in (the) room?No doubt, I'm the ONLY person who is confused. Please enlighten me.
When I started browsing these groups many many years ago, I was often frustrated by a lot of the jargon. On visiting video sites, I still am. Browsing on the AVS forum revealed to me "audio" enthusiasts with a more severely depleted mojo than you, Inmate 51 ;-) (A post about speaker distance/optimal sub crossover relationship was overwhelmed by queries on the distortion phenomenon in question) For the sake of those just getting into the hobby, is an extra 20 seconds of typing time too steep a price for an iota of courtesy? As I absorb the musings of video enthusiasts, I very much hope not, even if it's disconcerting to the self worth of a handful few.

While hoping for a definition of SBIR, I now read "mojo".I'm going to assume that SBIR means Sound Bouncing In Rooms, or Sub Bass Impulse Response, or Some Beer Is Repulsive. I'd still like to read your definition.
And, please don't tell anyone that you had to explain it to me, but, what the heck is "mojo"? And while I'm at it, what is a MILF?
SBIR = Speaker Boundary Interference Response. LBIR is similar to SBIR, where L refers to the Listener. Either way, the root problem is comb filtering caused by reflections.
I too am confused. For a moment I thought it meant Spouse BItching about Room treatments.
