His demo room has a low ceiling, probably 7.5' or so. All the stand-up bass' i've seen are well over 6' tall my man...
my point was that a speaker 12" tall on 24" stands shoots images up to the ceiling, down to the floor and all around.no speaker, big or large, in a home or at a salon, has ever done anything like his do.
i'm not speaking of their tone or overall performance, just ability to image insane style.

Guess I should have asked how high his ceiling was. Most are 8' or higher. What your hearing is called phase errors. The side mounted mid's contribute to that false image.
Those side mounted mids are connected to one another via an interconnect and the drivers themselves are a proprietary design. According to Jon Van L, each mid driver has 2 motors. the interconnect sends the signal from one to other and vice versa, and each 2nd motor pumps out the 180 degree opposite signal. somehow, this fools the brain into thinking full sized humans are in the room playing music.Its all jibberish to me, but he does have info about it on his site.
Kinda cool that you can unplug the effect, then add it again to see what happens. the 'musicians to the ceiling' weirdness did happen with the speaks running normal and 'hooked up', but the hooked up connection was really wild. from what i recall its old school technology....
no issues, i won't ask you how tall your stand up bass is if you don't ask about mine!!!
You should hear his new set up. Better sound and imaging without the side drivers.
