Hi all, I was moving offices, set up speakers at my desk and was reminded of the quite striking difference in sound quality when speakers are at ear level vs below (even if angled up toward the ears).
I was just wondering if anyone has resources explaining why this phenomenon occurs — has this been studied in any depth? I imagine the physics of it are plain enough to model, but one also wonders about the psychology of it, which probably is less straightforward.
thanks,
Sam
