Short excerpt from a YouTube video (Chris Collins) about ultra-premium speaker setup. The speakers describe speaker setup as part art, part science — citing concrete measurements (speaker/tweeter placement) and technical tuning (time alignment, specifically referencing a Wilson speaker) as the scientific side, and subjective listening/feel as the art side.
When we're doing speaker setups or any setup, it's really kind of part art and part science. So part of it is literally like measurements how far apart we're doing something, moving the tweeter closer or further back or, or up or down or. Or anything like that.
The whole speaker in its entirety once the time alignment set on a Wilson. Starting with that parameter and moving it without the. Throughout the room. Seeing how they actually interact with each other, how they interact in the room, how they carry all those little, little things.
That's a scientific process, really. But there's the art side of it where it's more feel.
