I know somebody who did that and found that his speakers had a distinct lack of air and a wa-wa feeling to the upper frequencies.

So let me get this right, you can take me to task for some minor semantic violation of the Griffin paper, which I made more clear in my next post. But in your next post you can ignore one of the substantial main tenets of the Griffin paper which involves the effect of vertical comb distortion by simply saying that you don't care. And you can say that you are trying to make your next design better than the previous one.

We sure wouldn't want the un-informed here to get the idea that we can ignore the comb filter distortion issue. I should think that you ignoring of this issue is a much larger violation than mine.

I'm sure you won't see it that way; however, I'll be surely interested in your take on the matter when what goes around comes around. Will you take the same level of responsiblity for your gaff for the newbies that you demand of me?

Uh, no, I didn't. I took you to task because you said that it can't be an array if it doesn't couple to the floor and celing. That's just silly.

I said I don't care because in my experience I haven't had a problem with it. My alignment causes a theoretical combing problem at slightly less than 10k. I have heard nulls when playing around with a frequency generator. I have never heard one when listening to music. YMMV for any number of reasons. But since these are my speakers and my ears, I don't care what you hear. I care only about what I hear.

Of course we shouldn't ignore it. But it's a far more complex issue in practicality that simply using a simple calculation and proclaiming the results to be cast in stone. Griffin's paper discusses this very subject on page 13.

The only mistake I've made is arguing with a self-proclaimed expert who can't admit that he made a simple and dumb mistake in a definition, and who then offers lies and strawman arguments to defend himself.

Nice work.......

Took a while, but I finally got the joke! Too subtle af first for me. Its this medium where there are no expressions. You have to admit to sounding pretty serious.
