jtkinney,

Thanks for posting these. This is very good information for all those who don't have the collection of Audio Papers from Klipsch. The fundamental teachings are very helpful in learning how to properly set up a great sounding system at home.

The diagonal "D" is not the longest length in the room. The article measures "D" as a line parallel to the floor from one corner to the opposite corner. The longest available length is from a floor corner to its opposite ceiling corner.

Using L, W, and H

Where D=32 (the example)

And D= (L^2 + W^2)^-2 (square root of the sum of the squares of the length and width)

The longest length is actually [[((L^2 + W^2)^-2)]^2 + (H)^2] ]^-2

If the height of the room is 10, then

The longest length would be the square root of (D^2 + H^2) = (1024+100)^-2 = 33.5

IIRC the diagonal modes don't respond as strongly as the primary modes. The response is inversly proportional to the number of reflective surfaces involved.

If you have a really tall room, you could get a response to those 32 and 64' stops!

My daughter had a choir concert at a local church last week that had a very nice pipe organ with a 16' stop. The room was much larger than the one in the artical, and it sounded good.
