[QUOTE="Blackjack, post: 184529, member: 13343"] Attie I agree with you.... the phone mic is not very accurate due to your reasoning. I would like to get a proper sound meter and do this experiment again.... I was just amazed that my comfortable listening volume was different for each artist...in other words there is not one correct volume for all artists in terms of volume. Bravic try this....first turn your speakers in about 20 - 30 deg, then, get the exact centre point between your woofers and stick a masking tape X on the spot. Now stick a line of tape from the X going back in a straight line. Keep measuring the distance between your woofer centre and the tape line and when you get to an equilateral triangle (2,35 from your woofer), put another X at the NLP. Continue the tape for another meter or so. Now put your favourite music on at a comfortable volume and sit at the end of the tape line. Now start moving towards the NLP and listen for differences in the music iro stereo effect, instrument separation, clarity of the snare drum and high hat and percussion and bass tension. (keeping your head centred over the line), When you get to the NLP stop and turn your head 2" to your left and you should hear primarily your left speaker and vice versa on the right. Push past the NLP and listen again. You have to teach yourself to listen and you'll be amazed at what you will hear. You will hear different effects of the abovementioned and it is very interesting ;D [/QUOTE]
