Post Subject: I do not think it is possible “long distance”.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/18/2007
My minimal distance between front of the upper bass horn and listening position is irrelevant as I set the proximity not according the upperbass but according a vertical shifting of HF image. Under a normal circumstances I might be as liitle as ~7.5” from MF channel.
Regarding the “RF at Ona” comments. All his point are very valid and very much agree with them, but still - they are juts generalizations and in very many instances they all might be offset by the specifics of given acoustic system and the given room idiosyncrasy. When you load a room with speakers (and particularly it is true for horns) , begin to measure the room and to listen the room then it is always some negative or positive discovery awaiting you and you begin to make “moves” that mostly offset your initial intentions.
Therefore I, as I said many time before: any serious large horn inhalation should be custom imbedded into a given room, and to do so the behavior of the room should be learned. I do not think that the learning is possible “long distance”.
