False wall and audio sound

[Resident Loser]

...what you really said was:

If you are speaking of a baffle wall, that will increase bass tremedously, and get rid of some modes and nodes in the room. THX actually recommends this for THX certified rooms. I would not recommend boxing the speakers, that would create resonances that are undesireable. If you build a wall with speaker cutouts for the left, center, and right speakers with acoustical foam surrounding the speakers, you will get pretty good sound.

...and you pretty much would have left it that way if I hadn't put that bug up your @$$...perhaps if you had the forethought to include...

While it must be carefully designed, it is doable

in your initial response, I might have been inclined to let you slide...probably not, but maybe...and anyway, how do you know he wasn't ready to whip out the ol' Sawzall and start on this project simply because you intimated it was a piece of cake and would probably cure cancer and solve world hunger to boot?

Do make a note for future reference YOUR use of the word "if"...conjecture on your part is OK, however if I choose to raise some doubt it is verboten, eh?

I included everything I did simply to counter your overly simplistic answer, sorry you no likey!

And again, for the gazillionth time...

The rather silly thing that makes me laugh is that you are arguing against something that has been done over and over again.

When what I actually said was:

Once again, you can put your enclosures or drivers in any configuration you chose, but they need to be either designed for the purpose or mechanically/electronically manipulated to compensate for their environment.

Given the choice(and since they make 'em for multiple environments) why would one want to use a speaker optimized for free-field use, when a flusnh-mount or cabinet-mount model is available?...as in the case of PSB. It'll only require that much more tweaking...

Why use the Genelecs which are near field radiators and which should be toed-in, as per spec, completely out of context?

Why put your boots in the oven and expect them to be seen as biscuits?

The answer is simple...HT is simply a medium for laser-totin' mechanical lizards...accuracy simply isn't of paramount concern...it's all nothing but one-upsmanship and old fashioned popcorn makers...and ooh's and aah's...

You didn't even address my responses to your so called POV

There are around 55 posts, roughly half of which are mine...if you don't have all the answers you need, the problem isn't mine...
