Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

Questions to ponder

1. Signals cancel if 180 degrees apart. Isn't a mono signal essentially that? Shouldn't, say a strong vocal, carry equal amplitudes on both channels? That's what gives the center image, right?

2.Sound waves not reinforcing? How do ports work on a cabinet?

3. This tweak enables your BRAIN to combine the left Right signals. Now doesn't that occur with headphones? If so, why can't it work for speakers?

3. Decades of common knowledge? Yes, but my placement of the center panel corners facing forward is definitely NOT like a rack or cabinet. I am reflecting the separate left/ right signals back out into the room into the listeners ears, for the most part. Think reflectors in a concert hall.


Simply put, the tweak greatly increases the center focus. However, it does not only help center imaging but also lateral placement in a very 3D manner. Listening to the complete Phantom in the opening auction scene reveals detail of the echoes off the stage and the auctioneer's gavel is extremely realistic.

You can hear layers of music over dubbed upon each other in quite a natural way for many recordings.

Of course the angle of the two panels must be experimented with, but once you reach the sort of ideal position the sound is fantastic.

You need not try it, BTW. I have employed this tweek for well over two decades noe. All I can say is that it works
