Can anyone comment on the way the sound from an AER seems to be coming from everywhere at once? That is, when I hear one, even from just a few feet away, it doesn't seem like what I'm hearing is coming only from the direction of the amp. Eerie...
Best,
Jack.
That sort of thing usually comes from phase or time delay between two sources of similar loudness. Basically it just makes it difficult for your brain to pick out the direct sound from the reflected sound because the way you locate sound is that your brain judges the time delay and relative strength of the signals each of your ears is receiving. Likely what you heard was more the enviornment than the amp... If there were a lot of hard surfaces - big tables - wood floors - flat ceiling/walls you probably were just sitting in a place where the reflected sound was pretty loud relative to the direct sound and it muddled your brain's ability to locate the source (or it could have been those margaritas you were slamming
M-Jack,
Wow - 150 is pretty "out there" loud... Sorry to hear about the ears. We just did a custom line array for a local jazz club called Jimmy Maks http://www.jimmymaks.com/ It was designed to be very graceful and HiFi - but also capable of putting out concert volume with any material you threw at it. We cranked it up a few times - but we never took it much past 115db because hearing loss at those levels happens quickly. It's an awesome thing to experience a high fidelity speaker system putting out concert volume and not even breathing hard - feels more like a force of nature than a stereo system - like standing next to a big waterfall
