Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Allison

One way to control room interactions is to limit the speaker placement and design for the placement. That's what Allison did. He was especially interested in a frequency dip a bit above 100 Hz and placed drivers and picked the woofer/mid crossover point to solve for this.

You'll get a sense of the sound he was looking for from his demos at shows. I recall 80s CES shows and he mostly played classical music at moderate levels. There was always a sense of calm in his room compared to most rooms trying to grab attention.

For info and sense of bass his speakers were always acoustic suspension, not just closed box(not all closed boxes are acoustic suspension).
