[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1137655, member: 2194"] Remember coupling, decoupling ? Most of us think about this in terms of resonance control : damping, vibration control, etc... To add to above conversations I would like add - [I][B]coupling of the speakers to the room[/B][/I]. Once the speakers '[I]couple[/I]' to the room, most of the terms/aspirations noted above, become easier to identify and/or pursue. I mean couple in the most positive subjective and objective way possible, once achieved, the music will fall into place much easier. Examples : Generally speaking, a mini monitor is great for imaging (and soundstaging), but lacks room filling bass. A floorstander can have overblown bass. Adding the right subwoofer/bass to the mini-monitor, will couple them to the room better, and both the imaging and soundstaging benefits more once the room is [I][B]energized[/B][/I] correctly. It should make all those other sound related things we desire, easier to identify and achieve. Same goes for the floorstanders - couple it to the right room/space and the same applies. The above is a simple analogy. Once you see it working you will understand and appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
