A very unusual speaker arrangement – brief comments

Posted by wazoo (A) on March 10, 2007 at 14:08:08

Earlier this week “Dawnrazor” mentioned a speaker arrangement that piqued my curiosity. So, I moved my MMGs well out into the room and aimed them at each other. It seems like a weird idea – listening to speakers 90 degrees off axis! I expected that the treble would suffer greatly and imaging would be very different.

I was surprised to hear that the change in tonal balance was more a thinning of midrange. There was plenty of treble with this arrangement. Imaging was very different – no real specificity of position. Sounds just seemed to be everywhere, but with some general L/R emphasis. My MMGs have never beamed less. It’s very different and not at all what I expected to hear.

If I moved too close, I started getting that “stereo in the head” imaging like headphones provide, but at a proper distance it sounded interesting. If you want to try something different, this certainly qualifies.
