Ciao,

What is the best way to place NXT flat panel speakers? Should they be
placed in a bookshelf or near a wall?

The usual stock answer applies - place those NXT panels where they sound
best. Try a number of different positions.

NXT panels radiate sound in a fashion that is quite a bit different from
just about every other speaker I've heard. They tend to not localize
sound to their location.

Most speakers sound best placed near a wall.

Not speakers that radiate sound from both their fronts and backs, which
includes some speakers that aren't 'stats or ribbons.

Also electrostatic speakers and speakers with ribbon
tweeters sound best placed far from walls.

Agreed.

NXT flat panel speakers LOOK similar.

NXT panels are inherently different from ribbons and 'stats because they
tend to radiate sound randomly.

Arny, I feel you should choose a better word for this.

Maybe you just present your own opinons, without criticizing mine.

'Random' is a perfectly good word for the NXT. 'Chaotic' is also in the
ballpark.

Synonyms that should be avoided: promiscuously, willy-nilly,
unpredictably.

The NXT technology is unique in that the drivers induce chaotic movement
in the panels, which is claimed to be far better for sound quality than
modal resonances.

I don't know NXT technology is all that unique, but it is chaotic.

I've got an idea - how about a knock-down bloody 7,000 post bloody shootout
haggling over the similarities and differences between chaotic and random?

However, the radiation pattern of a NXT panel is not "random." It is
characterized by one of the conventional terms used to describe radiation,
ie., isotropic, bipolar, dipolar, with many permutations possible.

Tell me Robert, how bored does one get before they try to start a war over
the difference between random and chaotic?
