RE: really? do the math (it's easy!)

Thanks for your thoughful and useful post.

Room modes are definitely an issue. Here's a related story: Back in 1982, I wrote a BASIC program to calculate room modes and print the results. Whoa, dude, 1982?! Yeah. I was sick and tired of calculating and plotting everything by hand! Hey, remember slide rules?! Fortunately, they were past their prime when I was in high school.

"At the dimensions of a living room and typical loudspeakers it is usually the specular reflections close to the loudspeaker which harm imaging the most, and the side walls are often the source. "

This is common "wisdom" and is total bullshit.

But then, I'm a recording engineer and a musician, so what the heck do I know?
