All the would-be loudspeaker system designers on this thread should Google "boundary gain." Actually if we were to design a speaker. Room/cabin/boundary gain is not considered as part of the design process

I thought I'd drop a little Public Service Announcement (A PSA if you will ) and remind people that DYOHN is the founder of Bag End Subwoofers. Which also does monitors. www.bagend.com/about/history/

So why do they use (those serious designers like Paul Barton) design their speakers using an anechoic chamber?

No one designs in or for an anechoic chamber, although they are exceptionally useful for measuring loudspeaker performance.

All quality speakers are designed for in room response so think of their use of an anechoic room as the ultimate performance test before taking a speaker into production . An anechoic chamber is designed to be reflection free down to a particular hz where all reflected sound from the speaker is absorbed or redirected so its not able to disrupt the mic measuring the speakers response . The room is used durring speaker design where the engineer takes the initial design into the room , measures responses & can then alter cabinet design and or driver location within the cabinet based on his reflection free measurements for better characteristics from the speaker .

Ah this makes sense. Thank you for explaining it.

Wish my room were better to have them perform at their full potential, though Dirac Live helps.
