Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms

Listening "nearfield" within a couple of feet of the speakers can help overcome room issues.  Small, good quality speakers played at low to medium, levels can create a huge soundstage and incredible imaging.  

*G* Now, There's a quest:
How to make terrible speakers sound great in a given room....

I suppose it could be done....but at the end of it all, one would rather toss them into a bonfire since it took so much effort...

nonoise....I dunno, guy....'acoustic mirrors'....🤔

What to do if the 'sweet spot' isn't sweet enough?

Now, I've run into omnis' like the Duevel that use ellipsoid cones and balls to bounce sound around to varying degrees....

I've not been impressed, frankly....

But they could be fun to fart around with while we're in lock up....;) 

(...I'm not just active late @ night.....vampire status is not something I aspire to.....yet....*g*...)

Duke my add would be
amp + speaker + room +ear/brain = system

:-)

Very well said!!  

By the way I’ve yet to hear a pair of the Larsens, but their innovative approach makes a lot of sense to me.
