[QUOTE="FJF, post: 5903899, member: 601907"] While environmental factors can and will impact a system's tonal balance and it spatial definition, resolution is mostly immune in the near-field. This can be demonstrated very easily. One can stand next to a speaker fronting a High-End system and compare the system's resolution to being the sweet spot. It's not that different, aside from the previously mentioned constraints. OTOH, car audio is low-rez, regardless, within varying degrees, of course. Even the concept of sound quality in car audio is convoluted, as it almost solely relies on tonal shaping and spatial manipulation, while the idea of extracting the most recoded information lays dormant. This isn't due to lack of user skill or substandard installs; it's due to the shitty gear and low expectations. A lot of folks would be shocked by how music they're not hearing in their car systems, if they were used to another level reproduction. It's all a matter of reference. [/QUOTE]
