Behar and Menyhart, in a recent study of a variation of a technique reported earlier by us [A. C. Raes, J. Acoust. Soc. Amer.46, 831–834 (1969)], conclude that the method is not fully successful in reducing the need for a multiplicity of source positions in reverberant sound field measurements. We would point out that their study, although interesting in several respects, presents no information on effects of varying source positions, and thus sheds little direct light on the value of the new technique.
