Well, you can get a feel from the pic above about placement. The "woofers" need to be placed close to walls to get boundry reinforcement.
We were about 9 feet back from the speakers and they were about 9 feet from their front wall. Lots of room to breathe behind them! They were about 4 feet from the side walls as well. Distance between was approx. 8 feet----a good size spread.
As for cables, I have no idea.
Music wise, they were playing some rare demo stuff. Nothing I had heard before. The "Amazing Grace" cut was from a sampler disc from a manufacturer whose name I could not recall. I held it in my hand and told Wendell, "well, thats not going to be easy to track down now is it?" He smiled. The drum track was recorded by what I can only gather was a friend of Wendells. It is not even available. This drummer designs microphones as well according to Wendell and this was I guess his personal demo disc. So, bottom line, the stuff they were playing wasn't anything that you could easily recognize. That was the only part of the skepticism that remains with me today. Fed the right material, in the right room, you can make almost ANY loudspeaker sound good, but perhaps not THIS good. I still wish I could have played my own cuts. Maybe someone else at one of the demos got a chance to do so and I would be interested to hear from them.

Joel
