In Reply to: Rear-firing tweeters : gimmick or real improvement ? posted by Lambda on November 9, 2006 at 07:45:17:
["As time go by, I find myself yearning for a more realistic presentation, i.e., a bigger, more diffuse, more enveloping soundstage."]What is your benchmark for 'realistic' other than bigger, more, and more? Is it something you've heard or imagined to be possible (i.e., rear-firing tweeters)?
["Pinpoint imaging may be a spectacular feature, but I find this more and more distracting than anything else. In fact, I often listen off-axis, just to avoid this effect."]
You make pinpoint imaging sound mundane. To add spice, do I understand your priorities may be leaning towards designs, on the leading edge of gimmickry?
