Ah, but they *can* have - ask yer mate Dr Bose or any 'horn' cabinet
builder....!! ;-)


Which is why both these produce incredibly 'coloured' sound.




Ah. Those flowery expressions again. Wish I knew what they meant - or
were intended to mean.


What colour did you have in mind? Puce? Cerise?


Eau De Nil...??


Burnt Umber....??


Colouration of sound is a term that has been in use by pros ever since I
started in the industry - and that's a long long time ago. Think of a PA
system just before the point of howlround - that's colouration. Or the
same with vinyl being played on certain turntables at high level. In other
words an external influence on a sound.

There now. That's an explanation.

How about one for 'speed' and 'immediacy' ;-)
