Acoustics
The acoustics of your listening room are the largest single factor in the quality of sound you hear.
This is a true, but often neglected fact about the search for true "High End" sound reproduction. Unless the acoustics of the room are taken into account, a loudspeaker designer is tilting at windmills, because every room that the loudspeaker is placed in will create a different sound experience, very often poorer than the customer heard in the dealer showroom.
Traditionally, if loudspeaker manufacturers publish SPL data curves on their products, you will almost always see a graph produced in a laboratory (anechoic chamber), free from room resonances and modes.
One very famous Audiophile magazine in the USA prints SPL curves for loudspeakers they test, and in almost all cases, the measurements are taken at 1 metre "to avoid room reflections". Yet it is precisely those reflections which can destroy the performance of an otherwise superb loudspeaker in your listening room. Do you listen to your loudspeakers at 1 metre?
Walls of Sound believe that the only way to design and measure a loudspeaker is at the listening point, which can be 3-4 metres away, including all room reflections. Our breakthrough is to be able to create the loudspeaker in your listening room with a very flat frequency response at your listening point.
