Is it Possible??


Is it possible for speakers to sound better when you hear them while sitting in a different room that the speakers are in or when you stand behind them?  If so why does this occur and what can I do to improve my listening experience while sitting in the same room as the audio gear.

I think so.

There was one UK reviewer, Jimmy Hughes, who used to prefer his speakers facing the front wall, ie away from him.

I’ve certainly heard speakers that sounded better the further I was from them than usual.

It’s as if their harsh distortions became more tolerable as you moved out of their line of fire.

As said above, you might need better speakers or just stick with your Carbon 7s.
As much ROOM Treatment you can stand and or can afford, first, then adjust from there..

I am struck by how much excess treble there must be for them to sound better when elsewhere. I am thinking it is likely a combination of possibly harsh electronic signal plus really revealing beryllium tweeters. What is your source, preamp, and amp?
I recall large Magnepans (3 screens per side) sounding really good, though not better, from an adjacent room years ago.

Your post made me wonder if "treating" the "other room" instead of the playback room would make them sound even better.
