What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework?

Hi unsound,

I hope you are doing well my friend. Technology can be a game changer, but I prefer to keep my audio in the analog domain where possible and my speakers well away from the rear wall.

Are you planning to try the DSP/rear wall concept?

Hi Dave, I've been contemplating it for some time, but haven't done anything yet.

when using DSP room correction there is a compeling argument to have loudspeakers placed close to the rear wall.

Yes this can be done with DSP, and you may well get a flat overhaul correction done. But you can also say goodbye to any depth to the image doing this.

I'm also with  dlcockrum and:

georgehifi,
You said something that so many others have said, and I must disagree. For many years I have had my equipment rack between my speakers, and imaging etc. has never suffered for it. And yes, I have tried it the other way too with no noticeable difference.

I must disagree.

Well all I can say is Neville Thiele (rip) taught me this, and the result was a no brainer, so much so I even took the wall out inbetween the speakers and left just a short 1.5mt wall behind each speaker for loading purpose, and the depth of image increased even more, to a visual/aural placement of depth imagery up to 5mts back behind the speakers.

Cheers George
