McBarretteA® !!, bersub, ALF 33, Ricardix, jbdedieu, pop_touch et 24 utilisateurs inconnus ludobrev | The best sounding car I have EVER heard was Earl Zausmer's 5-series BMW (the first iteration of the system with the B&W 13's in the kicks and B&W mids and tweeters in pop-up pods in the dashboard). This includes listening to the "very best" in car audio...Mark Eldridges, Gary Biggs, Larry Chijner, including my very own 240SX. But as Mike pointed out, when I say "the best sounding car I've ever heard", I am referring to tonality only, and to a much lesser degree, staging (no imaging). Sitting in that car was an aural experience, that is, until I gave up the driver's (left side) seat and sat in the passenger seat. I should have never done this. I should have listened to the car from the driver's seat, and got out and walked away. The passenger seat was awful. Tonality was still very good (above average), but with the hectic amount of time alignment and the speakers being all off-axis from my seated position (and the tonality tuned from the driver's seat), imaging, and to a lesser degree, staging, suffered drastically. I dare say it was the worst sounding car I've ever heard from the passenger seat. So how did he win back in the mid-90's? It's because back then, the "head" SQ judge was in the driver's seat, and the guy in the pasenger seat was there practically to fill a void space. Occassionally, the passenger judge would/could chime in, but not often. As the rules evolved with the years, the passenger seated judge was allowed to voice his comments, and we eventually have what we have now---two seat judging.
The moral of the story---a winning IASCA car does everything well. You can't trick physics. If the pathlength difference is more than 12 inches, there will be problems. The only possible recourse is hoping for some anomolous phasing problem which will get you centered up from both seats.

attention phrase casse tête de werner :
de mon expérience, quand je sais combien la correction de phase sonne mieux que la correction de temps, j'imagine combien mieux aurait sonné cette BM, stu voa squeuj veu dire
