Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Good Example

The AR302 discussed below is a wide-baffle stand-mounted speaker. Set up as supplied with naked cabinet edges, imaging is rather vague (as with other wide-baffle speakers). Once an absorbtive material has been applied to the cabinet edges (in this case felt), imaging is more in line with that of small minimonitors; images are placed with much more precision within the soundstage. Clearly, treble dispersion and particularly the re-radiation of treble (and upper mid)frequencies from the baffle edges has a strong effect on imaging.
