Their prices range from $1600 to $2800 which seems to be a very nice price range especially considering who makes them.

It is hard to imagine a better bargain than the "3", especially when you figure in the cost of RAAL's. The off axis measurements on the "1" are really impressive.

Added diffraction AND sympathetic resonances from the unused speakers will certainly be audible. There is most likely a sweet spot for speaker positioning that won't be realized unless each pair is moved in and out of that position. I do understand that the dipoles probably won't like the same spot as the direct radiators.

No hypotheses and hearsay. While they might not sound bad, consider that the science of the matter at hand has already proven that they could sound better.


Enviable collection of speakers, though. I applaud you.

I think y'all should lay off with your agression towards ADTG.

When statements like this are made:

*Snip*


Hypothesis vs reality.

Then expect them to be challenged. Others reading this might think it is ok to ignore proper speaker orientation. The reality is, this is simply untrue for very good reasons.


ADTG, I completely respect your decision to do as you please with your gear. I am sure it sounds great.

If having the speakers positioned the way he does would make such an audible change, what measurements would you use to be able to show at least some of this? Thanks.

Nuance beat me to it. I would like to add that I believe it is safe to say... none of the manufacturers represented in ADTG's collection would recommend setting up their speakers in that manner.
