Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I first learned of the Haas Effect

from Dr. Roger West of Sound Lab. He explained that is why he focuses on single driver full range designs. Further, he explained that he suffered a kind of hearing injury long ago with an unusual result. It's not the usual sort of frequency or level specific sensitivity, but it short circuited the brain's ability to to *ignore* dissimilar sounds coming from multiple directions as in a party environment. He finds it difficult to switch off the other conversations and focus on any one.

That is one reason why he is fanatic about sound coherence. I can attest that his speakers certainly excel in that respect.
