Kloss's Octave

[jamikl]

Does anybody on the forum have a copy of Kloss's paper on the above, which I
understand is really two octaves from about 150Hz to 600Hz. If anybody does
have a copy of this could they please forward a copy to me or post a link to where
the information can be found. Thanks in advance,

I haven't got it but the topic is very interesting indeed:

Carver cites Harry Pearson's seminal article, "An Essay on Imaging" (TAS Issue 18) to establish sound-staging as being (along with wide frequency bandwidth, and wide dynamic range) among those performance characteristics that define "great sound," that encourages listeners to immerse themselves in the musical experience in order to receive its full emotional impact. Carver also cites Henry Kloss's dictum that, "If you get that octave right [actually, the two octaves centered about 300Hz] ...the rest of it [the sound-stage] falls into place." Carver sums up with, "Henry Kloss ... taught me that the sense of acoustic space existed primarily in what is now called the 'Henry Kloss psycho-acoustic octave.'" Audio designers and audio critics are very alert to how well a system can replicate acoustic space in the listening room, and listen to this region (150-600Hz, roughly D below middle D, through D above middle D) with great care.

Thanks for the link graaf but that's where I got the little bit that I've read
on this to date. I'm now looking to find out more but google hasn't turned up anything fresh yet.
