Hi, I just picked up a Stereophile off my coffee table, November 2023.There is an ad that's been in the last few issues from the Rockport speaker company showing the Orion speaker system set up at an audio show in Munich. I know their products and owner/designer Andy Paynor are first class but after looking at the picture in the ad,(We Rocked Munich) who in the world has a sound room like that?There is a large unused space between the amps and ect,unknown wall space area,and are there real rooms at this show?There is also some sort of theater stage lighting surrounding the Orions. When you look at that picture does it seem that reviewers' measurements for real room optimal speaker placement might be a moot point? I wonder if the listeners position is standing up with no shoes on or sitting on a hard wooden stool 40 feet back....centered of course..Mark Korda |

Understand that is a demonstration "showcase" area. The curtains are for drama. There appears to be something in the way of sidewall treatments but quick setup environments don't lend themselves to long term fine tuning. who in the world has a sound room like that? Those lucky enough with that much space! There is a large unused space between the amps and ect... There are advantages to positioning speakers at room thirds, especially for dipoles. While my space is far smaller (25+' x 16'), I am able to do that upstairs. I'd like to hear a double pair of Sound Lab U-945s in that space. :) View YouTube Video |
