Post Subject: reflections versus distortionsPosted by hagtech on: 3/21/2006
Ok, I am again confused with the terminology.  You seem to relate reflections (indirect sound) to orders of distortion.  That is, 2nd order distortion has something to do with the first reflection of sound. 

I see these events as independent.  The 2nd order distortion of an amplifier creates harmonics that are not present in the source.  This changes the character of the sound.  Reflections and room reverberations also change the character of the sound, but in a different way.  How are these two things connected?
