RE: Anyone recall how Amar Bose and his M.I.T. team calculated 89% of concert hall sound is reflected?

Posted by Duke on November 27, 2020 at 22:55:37:
The Bose 901's front-firing driver ALSO contributed reflected sound, so even IF his "89%" figure was a worthy goal for a home audio speaker, imo his execution fell short.

That 89% figure was I'm sure dependent on WHERE in the hall you measured, and perhaps on whether or not the hall was filled with a frequency-dependent sound-absorbing biomass (the audience).
