Are you saying that trumpets are not substantially louder standing in front of them as opposed to the side or rear? That's certainly not been my experience. Particularly when I've heard marching bands outside, there is a substantial change in sound as they come toward you versus marching away with their backs to the listener. I didn't say no sound emanates from the side, but they've always sounded much louder to me when in front of them. Sounds like this is worth a small experiment with a sound level meter. ;-) -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85922 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
