...away from an indoor acoustic environment. Some of the best sounds I ever got from a pair of home made speakers was on a desert camping trip with the speakers connected to my truck CD player. We all too often forget to account for the influence of the listening space on the sound we hear.
Take the speakers indoors and you'll see what I mean.

over at Linkwitz Lab. Siegfried Linkwitz has devoted more than two decades researching why most speakers work against typical rooms, rather than with them.
(Perhaps you already have. Others should too).
I had a similar experience. Do you think any speaker CAN sound better outside Dick?
It's certainly probable. In my experience, the quasi-anechoic environment created outdoors is a huge factor. When speaker manufactures don't have access to a real anechoic chamber they measure their creations outside, free from the influence of a typical listening environment. Here's a pic from Roger Russel's McIntosh page illustrating an outside test.

Nice vintage Atlas mic stand! Those puppies are built to last forever. I have its little brother, the MS25.
Anyway, not so sure about the acoustical qualities of the makeshift windscreen, though!

"Audiophiles" often ignore the room, mainly because they don't understand acoustics and psychoacoustics, and rooms don't provide the "bling" factor which they seek by reading audio magazines.
