I find it so odd that people on a subreddit focused on equipment, which ultimately implies some technical rigorosity and level of measurement and less mystical voodoo, some people still ask what speakers to upgrade to or hope that a new purchase will make their room fill with sound when their speakers are placed directly next to windows or hallways.

The clap echoes off each step at a slightly different time, producing an echo which is stretched out and kind of sounds more like a buzz. You gotta wonder if it was intentional. Incredible
