Fender Rumble Club

... You can hear any sound from a single speaker no matter what distance you are from the speaker. The only difference will be in power (which decays with distance) and phase (which our ears are insensitive to). Now, the room reflections might cause phase interference, but in that case, the closer you are to the speaker, the less the room will affect the sound you hear.
I agree you hear a sound, and that's because of the complex frequency make up of the speaker output. The sound is not the same you hear when off stage.
You are correct about the phase cancellation with multiple speakers. I found out about the distance effect in the mid 60's when, I had diffuculty tuning an upright in a small practice room ended up having to tune at fourth and fifths nodes on the bass strings.
It's basic physics.

Pics? Audio?
i am recording a song tonight through the two combos. Will try to post it later.
 
Well, I got bored with what I was supposed to record and went out into left field with an off time-off kilter jazz improve on bass and sax.

It is ******** but I will post it tomorrow. The interesting thing about it is the sax is running through the rumble di to the board. I am working on a loop concert set for sax and bass. This one is so effed-up that I think I will use it. Lol
