Re: Soundwaves are compressed/decompressed air...

A kick drum is not an object in motion? All these years I thought I've seen the skin move! What you are not following is that I was talking about the first transient - the inital blast of the trumpet, as I called it.

By positioning your speakers backwards, instead of "the sound wave is a series of high and low pressure rings propogating OUT" (my emphasis), they are moving away from you towards your front wall, throwing 2 variables (position and wave front launch) into your new listening procedure. It might take two minutes to switch your speaker cables around to see if you can tell a difference.

Quads use an electrically charged diaphram between the two stators. The first set of Magneplaners I heard was about 30 years ago so they are pretty familiar territory but the point was that the panel would tear itself apart if there was more force on the magnet side than the other.
