Just finished listening to the hour and a half of the interview with Dr. Toole. Of course he goes into much more detail on the several topics touched upon(and others)in his book, but he summarized some findings that should be of interest to many of our members and make a worthwhile listen.
Subwoofer placement was a prominent item and the benefits of two subs at the center of opposite walls or diagonally opposite corners were discussed. One point made which should be of special interest to certain of our members with square rooms that suck(who shall remain nameless)was that even this could be largely overcome with proper multiple sub placement.
The benefits of surround sound were discussed and Dr. Toole stated that those who think that stereo is a superior listening mode are ignorant of the facts.
Placement and types of surrounds was discussed. Dipoles were criticized, while bipoles and monopoles(for a more limited listening area)were viewed favorably.
