[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 80463, member: 4"] Doug, Always great to have another long time audio human join the board. That's what it's all about. I think you'll find that this board is a little different from some others you may have experienced. A large portion of our active members make their living full time from pro audio. Some of them are the finest loudspeaker designers working today. Some of them even have doctorate level degrees in the physics of acoustics. Many without such distinction are extremely accomplished system, mix, RF, and measurement technicians - often all at the same time, as is the trend today. So when you come on strong in a new community and find that this group of professional and amateur audio scientists knows acoustic impedance from a hole in the ground, I understand you might be a little surprised at your welcome. Acoustic measurement is within the reach of almost anyone today, and so a good portion of this forum's readership is aware not only of how to do it, but also how large and small arrays behave on and off axis. There is no box on the planet that sounds the same at 300' as it does at 50'. Perhaps this is the first. If it is, then you're going to need more than self confidence to convince a group of people who knows pretty well how monumental a challenge that is. I hope you stay and continue to participate in these forums. We will certainly not hold the position that we have nothing to learn from you, but you must be prepared to show the same respect if you wish to have a constructive and interesting discussion.
