Re: There are individual characteristics of musical reproduction

Even you in your own limited way understand that the two way and three way box speaker doesn't work. You wouldn't have gone out and bought $35,000 worth of room screens and moved them around inch by inch if you didn't. You THINK you know why they sound better than box speakers. But you are wrong. The harmonic distortion of box speakers over most of their range in no more audible than your room dividers. The real difference comes from the way they radiate sound into space. There is no comparison with a box speaker especially at high frequencies where it counts most. That's the problem spectral reflection compensation is intended to solve and it solves it more effectively than a large bipolar radiator. As for flat frequency reponse from one end of the recording/playback chain to the other, you equipment is no flatter than most other people's if for no other reason than the fact that there are such radical differences in the recordings themselves. What's the good of a sound system where you can pinpoint every instrument blindfolded to a tenth of a degree if none of them sound anything like actual musical instruments?
