In the Thread: Romy The Cat's new Listening Room

Post Subject: AbsolutelyPosted by Paul S on: 11/29/2010

Steve, of course I have noted very obvious, problematic "phase issues" with speakers in the past. And of course we want the Sound to fill the room - apropos - with Music, not noise. But good luck with keeping track of "phase angles", and good luck keeping everything in "perfect phase" from source to ears, for so many electrical and mechanical reasons it finally becomes a matter of adjusting things to sound "good" in the listening seat rather than the fruit of some Quixotic Quest to "get everything in phase". I will go so far as to speculate that some of the "effects" we treasure in our playback are ultimately the result of system/in-room phase "issues". Regardless, although I agree with "mostly right" where "phase" is concerned, I think "phase" is like "pornography": I know it when I hear it.

Best regards,
Paul S
