[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 714797, member: 144"] Neither have I an AVR - or even HT! But from some experience with highly directional mics (two, switched between mono and stereo), the intelligibility was affected: Stereo worse than mono! (recording speech). Both naturally were dependant on phasing, but there never seemed a good/ideal position in stereo mode. (The distance between the mics was adjustable.) Listening to a sine wave signal from a loudspeaker some distance off was a greater horror show. Perhaps expectedly so, this seems to point to a phase problem. And the fact that the signal source (voice as said) covered more than an octave would indicate that part of the spectrum was always affected.(More info may have been gleaned if we had filtered the signal source frequency-wise, but there was not time.) More info on speech intelligibility probably to be found in a library - the internet these days. [SIZE=11px](Listeners in the above experiment were hearing-tested and normal.) [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
