In Reply to: Re: Maggie & acoustic treatment guidance. posted by Avocat on December 14, 2006 at 19:30:14:
Your tweak is a good one for Maggies. A Maggie looks something like a line source at the important frequencies, and the ribbon tweeter is a good approximation to one because it is so narrow. An ideal line source would extend to infinity above and below the listening position. Your reflective floor surface covering provides an acoustic mirror effect that extends the line source to well below the floor level. The ceiling does the same thing in the upward direction.One of the all-out approaches to a true line source is the Dali Megaline. Well worth an audition if you ever get the chance.
Point-source speakers, OTOH, and the side-walls of Maggies, require first-reflection treatments because the mirror images of the speakers act like independent sources that have time delay relative to the real speaker.
