Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms

@erik_squires ...I've got a heater to contend with, so I hear your pain. ;)

..and then the ambient temp goes up...AC racket, yay..."It's always Something...."

@jsandman...Well, Walsh (and Ohms) do respond better to 'carefully treated spaces' because they're omnis..and depend on the room but in a different fashion.

Played loudly in a small space isn't something to recommend....unless you're not 'playing for nuance', *G*

At that point, you may as well put a dog door on the speaker enclosure and get in....;)

Erik. A very detailed and well-thought-out answer to your question is provided at http://www.linkwitzlab.com/. Like many, I have found my LX-mini’s, Orion’s and LX521.4’s fussy and time-consuming to get ’just right’. But I enjoy all that fussing. Did you ever get over the bridge to Corte Madera or up to Sea Ranch to hear Sigfried Linkwitz’s systems set up in his own spaces? I did. What did you think?

@alymere

I am very sad to say I never met the man in person. As I noted elsewhere, his work has been with me in some form or another for a very long time. More recently I liked going to his website, trying to understand his views of a Duelund crossover, as well as his work on measuring just how quickly thermal compression happens in a tweeter, and then he was retired, and soon after gone.

....and I lived in Corte Madera for awhile...and was totally clueless at the time....

Missed opportunities.....

Hell, he may have been the guy yelling at me from his car that my 2 stroke Yamaha RD-350 was too loud!

(....the fact that we were approaching a right turn with a merge, with him on the 'inside' and next to me was more of a concern at the time....and a tight left after....  Survival supersedes Subtleness, frankly.... )

Tam Drive, approaching the 'S' @ the intersection w/CM...

Used to ride that into and back from work in Sausalito....back when it was non-burb'ed.....
