I like Alan's answers...simple, too the point, and easy to understand.

I agree with Sonic.

Is it just me or does Gena come up with some weird sh!t sometimes?

Do folks like you *ever* take a moment to enjoy your systems Gena?

Yeah, I'm not into trying to figure out how everything works, I just wanna relax, watch a movie, listen to some music and not worry what part of the room the electrons are ending up in, as long as they sound good.

God loves diversity.

We've all got our own endearing idiosynchrasies.

The official motto of the American Homebrewers Association is "Relax, Don't Worry, Have a Homebrew".

I'm gravitating to JohnK's sig line more all the time.

BB, i enjoy my system every time i get, but much like those crazed modkit and tweakers have an interest in finding way to make things sound better, some of us have a keen interest in the science behind the system and want to know why it sounds the way it does.
To each his own.

Bob, it's not you

Doesn't it interest you, how things work technicaly? The forum, btw, is called technical questions.

I actually thought it was a good question. I had wondered myself how relative room size is to bookshelves if you're only using a small portion of a large room for music listening.

I think the question should have been emailed to Bose though, we all know they're the experts on speakers that produce 'room-filling sound'.

I actually think it is interesting, up until the point I feel like I've been educated beyond my intelligence But it is great to see so many knowledgeble folks with different interests.

While this may have been in jest, Mirage does have an opinion on this.

They base the design of their speakers on the theory that a lot of the sound we hear is reflected sound. This is true in a lot of cases (how often are we in open fields?). That being said, the smaller the room, the greater the reflections. I believe that Decware also bases their room designs paying close attention to primary and secondary reflected waves (anything beoynd that is neglected due to energy losses and time delays). Thus, the perceived sound loudness should be greater in a small room than a larger room at the same output level. How much louder? That would have to be measured and would also be dependent on room finishes.

You guys are right...this *is* the technical forum and I should know better than to type while having a good beer buzz going on. Lord, I apologize (and be with the starving Pygmies down in New Guyana).

Carry on you geeks, strike that ... you technical people you! <----<<<< (look ... a smiley!)
