Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Never thought it the theory was a 'rule'

I've heard of it, but never took the title 'rule' very seriously. Because it rarely seems to be a useful guide for most rooms and systems.

IME, it almost never works, unless the room is large enough. Who wants to sit five feet away from the speakers in a 15' long room?

The idea of uneven integers IS useful in smoothing out the bass. Guess I never thought the so-called 'rule of thirds' was particularly practical, and certainly not for a multi-use room.

Best regards,
