+1. The theory of 'wave propagation' is total myth. It's source is a real effect, boundary cancellations, where the combination of speaker, boundary and listener position can cause low frequencies to be highly attenuated close to the speaker, but not attenuated further away. Laymen with no understanding of phase and boundary reflections came up with the notion that one had to be a certain distance away from a source to hear it. It's nonsense.
