I'm at a loss on what is really meant by a flat room. For instance, if the room is flat (at the listening position) according to a mike/meter in witch the mike has been calibrated to be flat, then to the human ear the room will not sound flat, because human hearing is 'not' flat. Now if the mike is calibrated in such a was as to match the way human ear hears, then the room should truly sound flat. Or am I missing something?
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi,
I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

Line -- That was a good reference you provided earlier. However what I think you are overlooking is that if the room is truly "flat," in whatever way that is best defined (taking into account both frequency response and arrival times), and the rest of the audio system is flat, and the recording process was flat, and the playback volume is realistic, then our non-flat ears will hear the sound in the same non-flat manner as they would have at the original event. Which essentially is the goal. Best regards, -- Al |
Al--I see. What I thing comes much closer to reaching that goal is to listen to binaurally recorded music with headphones. I wish there was a large selection of such recordings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRih10xLhD8&feature=related. |
