Pearl Acoustics - General HiFi topics
Are your loudspeakers set up to get the most out of them, your system, and your room? When you close your eyes, do you hear the musicians as if they are performing right there in your listening room? Do you hear left, right, front and back?
In this video, Harley Lovegrove shares his general approach for placing a stereo pair of loudspeakers for maximum effect. The subject of acoustics is, at best, complex and predicting loudspeaker performance in any given room can only be estimated by algorithms and special test equipment. However, Harley’s pragmatic approach to loudspeaker placement, means you can get the very best out of your HiFi investment, as long as you are prepared to experiment in the methodical way he suggests.
