Even though I have the curve I want and the desired amplitude at the desired frequency is it possible I'm getting "smearing" by achieving that amplitude by reflected sound vs direct sound? Could this change the intelligibility of dialogue etc?
Hello everyone. I have a pair of RP600m's with GR research XO and upgrades. Using mini DSP to get the curve I like most. I've noticed when I have zero toe-in I get a wider sound stage (sounds like surround sound). RP600m already has very narrow dispersion. They also have a rise in the HF at around 4K and up. That is completely gone with no toe-in. but...
Center image might have lost just a tiny bit of its strength or perhaps it's like how we hear frequencies in that if you boost a certain frequency it sounds as if you have decreased surrounding frequencies. Everything is relative in this business.
Another added benefit is that when I'm wandering around the room, the extra treble energy in the room means I get all those frequencies when not sitting and listening critically in the listening position.
