Question: why do we place stereo speakers in front rather placing it on sides of listener.

[@johncalder8490]

Both our sight and sound senses are forward-oriented, with high side-to-side forward sensitivity. Also, nearly all of the live music events we replicate (or try to...) are staged in front of us. Plus the "home design committee" doesn't usually want speakers all over the place - better to constrain them to only one wall (for stereo - surround sound is a whole other thing).

[@FOH3663]

In the audio mixing/mastering world, a 60-degree angle between the two loudspeakers as measured from the listening position, is the standard from which to operate. That places the loudspeakers in front of the listener, at 30° left and 30° right ... of center. It's the established position.

Good work. At 0:22 you say Sound Silencer Wall. You mean Sound Silencer Coating? Or is the wall itself built with a sound absorbing material?

@@Acousticgeometry Thank you for the prompt reply. The tutorials you offered over KZbin are my favourite in acoustics and for the past several years those are the ones that I keep recommending to fellow audiophiles.

The first screen is a monitor? or a projector? holy shit i would buy one of those but damn for sure costs a lot of money whatever it is.

I can't tell you (NDA), but it was beautiful!

And here I was thinking all this time, those wall panels were speakers on the cinema walls.😂😂 Movie theatre speakers are always too loud for me. I have heightened hearing, smell and taste. I always have to cover my ears if I go into one. Always thought it was because there were soo many speakers. 😂 I know now they just have the volume way too loud! So much prefer drive in movies, you can adjust volume to your liking! I love learning! Thank you!
