22:39 Final Thoughts
Today's video is a deep dive into speaker placement and how it impacts bass response, imaging, and soundstage. I’ll be using the GR-Research NX-Bravos for this demonstration—these very speakers are headed to Erin at Erin’s Audio Corner for review, but before they go, I had the chance to put them through their paces in a carefully recorded test.
🔊 What You’ll Hear in This Video:
1. A comparison of speakers placed close to the wall vs. deep into the room
2. How boundary reinforcement affects bass
3. The role of speaker placement in imaging, staging, and separation
4. A shootout between the NX-Bravos, my Encore speakers, and a sneak peek at the NRD speakers
🎧 For the best experience, grab a pair of headphones! The sound clips in this video were recorded using multiple microphones to capture the most realistic in-room experience possible.
