Default Transient response of actively filtered speakers

Dick,

If those are the resuults you getm then you're not doing your filtering

properly.

I dunno - we set up a mike, played some tones, and that's what we got. What
else is there to do?


Well, gee whiz golly, Ethan, I reckon there tain't nothin'
else. It just seems me an' my buddies, we been wastin'
our time what with all these here fancy measurement microphones
an' them thar fancy measurement systems and all that high-
falutin' book learnin and all that.

Indeed, there's a LOT more to do. All due respect, but there's
a LOT more to it than just "set up a mike, play some tones."
Because if that's all you do, what you got ain't very useful.

But we've been through this, eh?

perhaps you might want to consider expanding your toolbox.


Actually, loudspeaker placement in rooms is of great interest to me too. In
fact, later today I'm going to do some tests of the response obtained with
speakers flat against a wall versus various spacings away from the wall.


Uh, to possibly overuse the analogy, what I meant by "expanding
your toolbox" doesn't mean going out and looking for more things
that might look like nails.
