System Comments:

  

General:

 

This is one of David’s listening room used for equipment evaluation and review.  He is currently reviewing the Song Audio 300B amplifier, and the pre-amp.   The Luscombe cables are also being reviewed.

 

The speakers are laid out in a D’Appolito configuration.   The phase displacement and interference affects to minimize the portion of sounds emitted upwards and downwards.    This improves the spatial qualities of the cabinet.   Note the way they are tiled upwards, this goes to show the level of detail which David will go through when it comes to equipment set up.

David is very fond of using subwoofers, and he often use 2 of them instead of 1.
