Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Interesting, well, so much for that idea!

Actually the whole question of what makes something sound live from the next room is a very interesting one, and most people have had the experience of hearing something in another room and knowing immediately it's live and not recorded. Most of the traditional speaker parameters - frequency response, dispersion, etc. would seem to be screwed up by the trip the sound wave takes from one room to the next. Maybe time coherence and lack of dynamic compression of the first arrival sound has something to do with it. Then there are the speakers that some say sound MORE live from the next room than when you're in the same room. I have NO idea what's going on there!
