In Reply to: RE: Stacked AR's anyone? posted by sberger on November 02, 2016 at 22:32:48
Just wondering how the stack would sound if the speakers are placed vertically with the top one upside down to get a D Appolito configuaration. Curious.
Cheers

There's no way to get the geometry of a true D'Appolito by stacking the speakers. First the midranges are too far apart and in true D'
Appolito they are as close as possible(preferably a tweeter diameter apart). Second there are two tweeters is the wrong physical relationship to the mids. A D'Appolito only has one tweeter. Without the correct geometry the D'Appolito dispersion will not occur. You'll just get unpredicted interference affects between the drivers, or as the late, great editor of Hi Fi News, John Crabbe, called it, a sonic wodge of sound when describing the imaging of the AR LST speaker.
Who cares about dappolita design?
Jeez. You guys need to grow a brain.
Dappolita is BS.

I had them like that at first, since that is the way I've always stacked speakers. It sounded good. But then I read a post from a guy over at the Classic Speaker Pages/AR forums who had stacked 2 pairs of 3a's, first vertically, then horizontally, and much preferred the latter. I respect his opinion, and gave it a try, and I liked it a lot more. Better soundstage, and while it's probably my imagination, overall tonality seems better, richer. Plus, I much prefer the way it looks, and it's probably safer as well, especially in earthquake country where I'm at. These speakers were designed for both vertical and horizontal placement, so that they sound good both ways is not really a surprise.
