Tuga,
I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then-reproduced sound. You do not to be overly observant to recognize that Point Source does not exist in realty BUT I do not think that is prove anything in audio. The live vs. recorded-and-then-reproduced sound are the same things from the perspective of perception and different things from the perspective of methods. It is like playing a note on violin and piano – it might be the same pitch and the same note but very different techniques and methods are involved. In one of the articles on my Audio For Dummies ™ section I have proposed that we shall not position speakers but shall create Sound in room. A single-driver (wave-propulsion type) has very poor room coupling and practically no variables to tune itself. It is like somebody built for you a guitar but it has not Machine heads and string “as is”. What are you doing to do with it? Be advised that a Silbatone-like back-loaded single-driver (even if to embrace the wrong perception of Point Source as the single-driver people perceive it) is not a Point Source. A Moron sits in front of large single-driver transducer, hear HF radiating from the driver’s pancake and feel that it is a “Point Source”. I am sorry but it is laughable even from the context of the kindergarten audio… JMLC is too audio intelligent person to argue Point Source or not the Point Source. Audio have a lot of own Bermuda Triangles and I do not see a need to fight with surrogate notions of Point Source that I see as nothing else but a artificial foolishness conceived by simplistic and semi-sinister people.
