I am thinking that there is an explanation and it has to do with a narrow sweet spot, where the large system sums properly with reduced amount of chaotic room reflections, with a smeared timing. I noticed a similar effect with my system and if I reduce the physical area of sound source (to approximate closer to a point source) the room interference is reduced, the sweet spot is enlarged. I think that the larger the system, the uglier the sound that the room sees (mostly timing alignment of channels) and throws back at you. This is my explanation, although a crude one. But I have tested it and always come back to the same explanation, the same problem of a large system with multiple sources of sound.For example, a small Tannoy V8, with it's limitations and handicapped sound, performs the trick of coherent sound projection very well -- disturbingly well.Have you tried turning off channels, one at a time and observing how the sound forms in the areas where it's usually a mess?Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
