Getting back to resonances, our "Classic-Series" acoustically produces bass, utilizing our patent-pending

cabinet design which amplifies the lower frequencies produced by the diminutive single wide band driver. This

acoustic style of bass production energizes a listening room much the way musical instruments would at a live

venue. It is also amenable to boundary reinforcement if more bass is desired. The largest useful boundaries

are the walls of the room. There will be increasing bass reinforcement as you place the speakers nearer to

them. However, We do not actually suggest corner placement or positioning directly against the wall as we

usually experience too much reinforcement, which results in a less balanced (bass heavy) frequency response.

Advanced Set Up

We now introduce a corollary to our speaker's natural staging and imaging capabilities. Instead of moving to

different seating positions to get a different perspective on your music, you can remain in a single seating

position and have the stage and images move around you. If you rotate either both or only one speaker

around its axis, the sound will change as if you had changed your seating position in the audience. Try this for

yourself. While keeping the rightmost speaker pointed straight ahead, toe out the left speaker 10°, 45°, 90°,

and, for grins, 180° successively stopping to listen at each step. You will notice that at each step this is akin to

moving farther to the right in the audience. For example, at 10° your placement is still in good virtual seats

and with each successive turn you get closer and closer to being in the cheap seats. At 180° you will get a kind

of inversion back to the center. Experiment, try toeing the speakers in or out and listen. Try having the left

and right speakers asymmetrically placed. Does this make a significant difference? Try having both the left

and right speakers slightly canted equally in the same direction, what do they sound like? This particular

positioning may be useful in redirecting or reducing standing waves in a rectangularly shaped room, while a

different positioning may prove helpful with other problematic situations or rooms.

Final Placement

Now that you know the capabilities of your speakers, just try them in any suitable location which you believe

will sound good. It may be as simple as having them 5 ft. (ca. 1.5 m) apart and 1.5 ft (ca. 0.5 m) from the front

wall as we have done at most public demonstrations, or something less obvious but more conducive to your

environment. Have fun and ... welcome to the music!
