Welti averages bass frequency responses at 16 seats located in the middle of a very large listening room.If your room is similar and you can place your ears in 16 locations simultaneously, then the Welti paper is just for you.
I want to know the frequency response for my two ears with no averaging, and I want a subjective judgement on two-channel suybwoofer/satellite speaker integration from my one seat.
Welti does not provide any of these answers.
(Nor does he claim to)His paper could be applied to surround sound in a small theater.

- So... if I tell you that I've tried both and my way works best, will that convince you? - Duke 11:36:37 03/08/07 (13)
- Adding a third or fourth subwoofer may improve bass at your seat in your room ... or maybe make it worse! - Richard BassNut Greene 08:26:52 03/09/07 (12)
- Adding additional subs almost always results in smoothing. - Duke 09:29:21 03/09/07 (11)
