Post Subject: "Just Stereo"?Posted by Paul S on: 3/30/2025

I am at the point where I have gotten so much Music from The Loudspeakers that I am wondering how much one can possibly get from “just stereo”, generically speaking. Naturally, I keep DPoLS in mind as I move my speakers (and myself) around, and lately I can hear significant differences with very small movements, both the speakers and myself as the listener. Yesterday I got a big increase in the sound field, along with a little less “sense of clarity” of the Musical notes. I have observed (and mentioned) in the past that I have experienced different iterations of the sense of clarity, including times when “clearer” did not mean more intelligible. Most recently I was focused on Wand/BPO, Bruckner 4 more than the system, so hard to say much about “the nature of the clarity” then, other than what I have previously observed. Can’t say why I have put off making it easier to slide The Loudspeakers around , although recent procrastination on that front was to first decide if and how much I want to tilt the speakers. I think I will just go ahead with basic sliders and do that so it’s as easy as possible to raise and lower the front of the speaker cabinets. Of course, “easy” is a relative term here, since each speaker weighs about 235 lbs. Back to just stereo (with DPoLS), I am very curious to find what happens if/when I “get the most from stereo”, how much will be Music, how much will be sound effects, and how much these overlap and interact.
