Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms


I remember running into an audiophile who refused to consider anything about room acoustics. He bought speakers specifically for live, untreated rooms.

Anyone else? What was your solution?

*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*...)

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.

and this goes back to something else I've noticed. I simply cannot ignore a room.

I can ignore the air conditioner more easily.

Those audiophiles who can hear the nuance of equipment in a bad room, you are amazing, because I can barely listen.
