Hello,

I usually am, but if the music is on when I'm in the kitchen cooking, I come into the living room to listen periodically and that's when I hear it. Or if I get up to go to the bathroom or kitchen for something. Maybe I should check this out with the TV as well. The sound system on my plasma is quite good for a flat panel, so I should be able to tell the difference.

I thought about the DSP option, but I'm not sure if I want to go that far.

I mentioned this drop-off to Bill Dudleston at the recent NY Audio show, and while there was no real conversation about it, he mentioned that Legacy does have such things in mind as they design their speakers. Don't know what he was referring to specifically, though. I wonder if Bryston speakers would have less of an issue with this also, as they're supposed to have a good vertical image. Such may not solve the problem but I wonder if it would help any.

See, this is why I'm a semi-hobbyist.
