And that background noise was sufficiently low, etc etc. If so, that's sort of interesting. AR once did something similar, not to investigate bandwidth requirements but just to prove that their speakers (10pi) could fool people. And someone else did a similar bandpass experiment with various curtains/screens that *did* block various freqs, which proved that high frequencies *did* matter. (These were done a *long* time ago. I don't remember whether "high" was referring to over 16kHz at that time.) I'd like to know what miking/speaker placement setups they used to fool people in a live-vs-recorded test. Proper imaging is hard to achieve, and could easily spoil such a test. (right, Phil?) _____ |___| the Bavarian Beagle _|___|_ Snoopy \_____/ tektronix!mako!seifert \___/
