RE: Another First Reflection Trap (FRT) Adventure : Quasi-Ambiophonics

From Josh358: "This stuff -- nulling room acoustics and crosstalk cancellation -- really takes things to a different level."
And that, sir, was the drum I was beating when I was posting about this a few years back. It really dwarfs the improvements you get from fancy cables or amps. In fact, it's worth just getting long lengths of plain zip cord to use as speaker cable until you get placement nailed.
And yes, the MMGs are probably better candidates since, according to Floyd Toole's book "Sound Reproduction: Loudspeakers and Rooms" which has an entire section (9.1.3) which he calls "An Important One Toothed Comb - A Fundamental Flaw in Stereo" which relates to the crosstalk phenomenon, the critical frequency is about 1,300 Hz. So the MMG tweeter is definitely in play there. The link to the Toole book I posted earlier seems to no longer include that section; pity.
Of course, it also has zero WAF. ;-)
