    • @20CycleMonger
      @20CycleMonger 2 роки тому

      Vaulted walls actually.... which is better. Panel speakers don't radiate as much vertically or horizontally to the sides, which gives you more direct sound and less reflections off ceilings.
      A Linn-Naim system owning friend of mine moved to his new house. Vaulted ceilings make his living room sound like an echo chamber. Really nasty.
      I suggested he move his stereo downstairs, since his wife wont tolerate ceiling cloud absorbers.
      Cathedral ceilings belong in cathedrals only!

    I believe some people love electrostats and some do not like Steve personal taste nothing definitive or right or wrong. but when musicians love them that is a strong endorsement. They know what sounds real more than the average joe. So there's that lol. I agree with Steve for hard rock Monkey coffins do better for everything else nothing can touch electrostats period.
