Speakers in rooms - considerations for the best sound

The very best analysis of this subject I have heard ever! Well done, thank You!

This is really helpful, thanks for taking the time to record and post

Yes, please make more. Clearly a complicated subject but I have learned a lot. And, it is easier to calculate my listening area /speaker placement relationship when I can unserstand more about how sound waves and the brain react together. Also I very much like your presentation and thoughtful answers. Thank you.

Impressive and well done presentation. Good questions too. Thanks!

Best video about this subject ever. If it woulded been a 1hr or 2hr video i would watch the entire thing happily. So sad it was only 20mins thou.

Very informative and helpful. Appreciate your time and effort. Thank you!

Just got my P3's.. This vid confirms what I experienced in a near field listening experience. Thank you! Cheers, TS

Halleluyah. Best vid ever of explaining how stereo systems work. I've been asking myself for years now as to why whe don't have a central channel speaker in stereo music. It's what's missing IMHO. Now I know why. Thank you SO much. 🙏Amazingly helpful. 👍

Intelligent, educational and well explained. This, for me was priceless. Thank you.

This for me, is the best explanation on the internet. Finally, something that makes it simple to understand.

This was highly useful and nice!! Please offer more of these subjects. Tks

Really good stuff from a clear master...

Very good talk. Very easy to understand the points he is trying to teach

Thankyou for your insight makes a lot of sense, you have helped me overcome some problems that I had setting up my home theater system keep up the great work :)

Have my Harbeth speakers firing square on .No toe in.Sounds amazing.

Good to hear a speaker designer's advice. Diffusion at the first reflection point is now widely recommended, if the difference in distance (direct vs reflected) is less than 6ft/1800mm (3ms). Fix the room before upgrading equipment! 🎶🤫🎶

Surprised and curious why this video didn’t already have 6M views? Anyways … it’s their on lookout. This video truly emphasizes that the science of acoustic engineering should go hand-in-hand for many, who profess to be audiophiles, in choosing high end hifi systems only because they can “afford?” Excellent video! Cheers! 🎼🎶

Excellent video. Extreme near field is how I grew up. We used to cram all of our friends in there as well. When I was younger living in tiny homes, I would sit between the speakers on the heavily carpeted floor where I could still crawl over to the controls and stand to work the turntable between records. Now I use a supersized desktop/studio style layout with 12" mains and a pair of subs. It's very head-phonic minus the isolative disruption between the two the skull otherwise inflicts. Add some well practiced, recording dependent, EQ on the fly and I'll never go back to trying to appease an otherwise, non-existent audience. For the uninitiated, the rest of the room still sounds comparatively top notch, to what most people are used to or even care about. In other words, if your audience is tiny, forego trying to design a favorable whole room. Instead, be acoustically selfish.

I’ve seen quite a few videos and articles on speaker placement but none better than this one. Clear, straightforward, and easily understood, it’s a great practical guide to speaker and listener positioning in real rooms. And yes, I’d like to see more 😊.

So glad you’ve doing these, great information. 2 Questions. 1. Does the same ratio 1:1.5 apply when using the long wall of a room? 2. Just as there’s a max distance between the speakers, is there a minimum? I’ve read lately about putting speakers closer with less toe-in.
