No speakers visible from the TV viewing side
Not to be confused with “discrete” which means separate or distinct, some loudspeakers are described as “discreet” simply because they are small, unobtrusive, or look like artwork. However, in terms of loudspeaker design and performance, “discreet” has a broader definition. More accurately, “discreet” must define both its subtle appearance plus the audio disappearing act it performs in the listening environment.
The WAF rule requires that a speaker never draw attention to itself visually and not have to be played loud for enjoyment. Hi-fidelity standards require that a speaker never draw attention to itself aurally; i.e., the sound stage should be natural, realistic and not sound like it is coming at you from inside a box. Don’t just think, listen… outside the box.
