Message-ID: <1672@sdccsu3.UUCP> Date: Wed, 21-Mar-84 17:00:38 EST Article-I.D.: sdccsu3.1672 Posted: Wed Mar 21 17:00:38 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 23-Mar-84 20:37:55 EST Organization: U.C. San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 25 ---- Eat me ---- I have seen quite a bit of discussion about multiple speakers in a listening room. Although there has been a lot of talk and discussion of personal experiences, I have not seen that anybody has done any experiments with it. Has anyone, including Linn-Sondek, done any measurements of frequency response in a room with and without extra drivers? Although I believe that there is some effect, I do find it silly to believe thata a 4" driver can affect bass response more than all the other acoustic effects in a room combined. I use two pairs of speakers with my system because I live in a dorm room with a rather terrible environment. I haven't tried moving one of the pairs out, but I have found that running both of them together creates a warmer tone, as well as better stereo imaging throughout the room. Seems to me that charges stored in the capacitor due to induced vibrations in the woofer would be minimal compared to those supplied by the amp.(Note- my roomate is also a non-Golden Ears audiophile, and he finds the second pair a definite improvement also.:-) fritzz the zebra
