Post Subject: That little something extraPosted by Paul S on: 6/5/2007
I don't want to get off on a tangent here, but I have been using a sort of MF injection by default for some time due to OB backwash from my DX4s between 150 and 2,400 Hz, since I leave the back of the driver open. Yes, this is "out of phase" but it is also "blocked" by the large baffle, etc., blah, blah, blah, and it bounces around before it gets to me, anyway.
The bottom line is, it does something mostly good if the speakers are pulled well out from the walls, and it not only does not hurt imaging, it seems to help.
Another thought is the old SQ-coded "rear channels", etc., which served best if dimmed to make ambience only.
Likewise, "surround sound", which is actually great for ambience if it is done right, ie, with restraint.
Best regards,
