[Elecraft] Speakers - Optimal Frequency Range?

[Walter Underwood]

I worked with someone who had two sound-absorbing pillars in the corners of his office. Of course, he’d just recorded his 8th or 11th album, depending on how you count, and he’d produced the latest one. Mitch Easter was busy this time.

I’m not nearly that picky and have some hearing loss by now, but I still miss my baby Magnaplanars (SMGa).

Need to write up my cheap-ham amp & speaker setup after I have a few more miles on it.

The loudspeaker(s) excites the room, but you're so close to the loudspeaker that you don't hear the room response. Most recording studios have a pair of high quality loudspeakers mounted on top of the console for exactly that purpose. They also have a larger pair that DOES excite the room.

There are other good choices, but these are well established, widely available, and not expensive. All are VERY comfortable for LOOONG contest weekends (although comfort in the ER4 depends on matching the ear piece to your ear).
