Bass without the boom

This is how a 'generic' loudspeaker, made to measure well in an anechoic chamber would look like when placed close to a wall:

There will be a huge amplification in the bass, followed by a sharp dip.

The fix

The logical solution is to take the inverse curve to cancel this unevenness out, and implement it into the loudspeaker itself.

Increased bass extension

The frequency response of our speakers is adapted to utilize the sound reflected from the rear wall and the floor. Together, this reflected and direct sound creates the response curve we aim for. This principle provides reinforcement in the lower bass range, allowing us to achieve a substantial amount of bass from very small enclosures. This also makes wall placement an asset rather than a problem; most speakers require placement with distance from the back wall.

Increased sensitivity

We also benefit from the room gain of several dB's that makes the system more sensitive than it otherwise would be for its small size. This makes the Guru loudspeakers work fine with low powered tube gear as well.
