Deang Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 “Everything sounds better in a corner.” I know PK said this, I just don’t know where. A publication? An interview? Video interview? As I recall it, I think he was playing with some bookshelves while he was in school. It might’ve even been in his dorm room. While messing with them, he figured out that they sounded better when he put them in the corner. Of course, have no idea if the story is true or not. I can’t even remember where I heard it.

JRH Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I doubt that a dorm room was involved. I have heard him talk about his mother's console Edison record player being corner-placed to good effect. Also, I believe a fellow student at Stanford (Madison R. Jones did a thesis on speaker cones) suggested to him that all speakers sound better in a corner. This was 1932-1934. Paul said that he paid more attention to that thesis than his own. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
