Re: As good a time as any...It is not just a matter of time-but also level. Maximum combfiltering is when both signals are the same level. With one being closer-the level would be higher.Also the ear perceives different time arrivals as different things. 8ms or so is not long enough to be considered ''echo''. It is more a time smear-as you say.However there are also other things that add to the smear effect-other reflections in the room and so forth.Acoustics can be a very complicated set of parameters and you have to look at all the factors involved, not just a single parameter-such as loudspeaker distance.
