📀 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟴 𝗜𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 📀

The seats for Saturday have been claimed. 🏆

As usual, we can’t say how grateful we are.

We started these mornings as a way to gather with people who actually care about the details, and the response from the community always proves that there is a real hunger for this kind of focused listening. 💪

𝗧𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁, 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

We’ve put together a selection that really pushes the reference system, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts on the depth and textures we find in the recordings.

There is nothing quite like the discussion that follows a truly great session, though. 🍷✨

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱, 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆.

Volume 8 is just another chapter in the story, and the plans for the next session are already in motion. Keep an eye on our socials for the Volume 9 announcement.

In the meantime, our doors are always open. Drop by the store to chat gear, browse the latest arrivals, or just catch up with the team.

𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆!

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟴 🎷🎼

The ritual continues!

We are back this Saturday for another intentional listening session, and the momentum from the previous volumes has set a high bar for what we expect in the room.

Our refurbished space remains the core of these mornings, though, and we’ve been loving it.

𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.

Volume 8 is simply the next step in our ongoing exploration of what high-fidelity sound actually sounds like when given the space it deserves.

We have gathered another set of recordings that speak to the heart of what we think music can deliver, but really we’re just looking forward to hearing from you all again.

These sessions provide a chance to sit with familiar music and hear the details that usually stay hidden, then chat with some fellow music lovers about the depth we do (or sometimes don’t) hear.

As always, we keep the group small to ensure the experience remains focused and the post-session discussions stay personal.

Because of this, seats are limited and tend to go quickly. Booking is essential to secure your place!

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝘆, 𝗧𝗼 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹 ☔

Winter brings a shift in the air, and while you might be settling in for more time in the listening chair, this is your seasonal reminder:

𝗠𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗿𝗶𝗴!

As temperatures drop and humidity fluctuates, the internal components of your amplifiers and turntables become vulnerable to condensation and corrosion.

Thankfully, though, you don’t need to overhaul your entire setup to stay ahead of the weather. A few simple habits make a massive difference.

To start, try to keep your system away from cold walls or direct drafts. It seems so simple, but you would be surprised at what we’ve seen over the years.

Moreover, if your listening room gets particularly damp, consider a small dehumidifier to keep the air stable.

𝗔𝗹𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.🔥

Check your connections occasionally.

Unplugging and reconnecting your cables every now and again helps prevent oxidation.

If you have equipment that sits idle for weeks, give it a regular, gentle warmup to keep the circuits healthy.

Good airflow is quite important, as well!

When gear is tucked into an unventilated cabinet, it is far more likely to trap moisture during these colder months, and as we well know…

𝗠𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆!

These small acts of maintenance preserve the life and performance of your system, keeping it performing at its peak all winter long.

Enjoy the long evenings, kick back with your favourite sound, and for the love of all that is groovy, keep your setup dry when the rains hit.

📀 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟳 📀

The guest list for Saturday is officially closed. 🏆

It’s becoming a regular occurrence to see these seats fill up so quickly, but the team gets excited every time it happens.

This wouldn’t happen if you, the community, didn’t make this Saturday ritual such a priority.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰. 😉

These mornings were designed to bridge the gap between owning great gear and actually sitting down to use it.

Seeing the same level of enthusiasm for Volume 7 as we did for the first session tells us that the appetite for intentional listening is only growing. 💪

For those who secured a seat, we look forward to the deep dives and the inevitable debates that follow a solid jazz rotation.

There is a specific kind of energy that comes from a room full of people truly paying attention, and we can’t wait to lift that needle again. 🍷✨

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

We are already looking at the calendar for Volume 8, and we’ll have more details on that very soon.

In the meantime, the shop remains open for anyone looking to talk tech, audition new
components, or check out the latest arrivals.

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 = 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱🧼

If you want your system to perform, you have to respect the point of contact.

The stylus tracks microscopic grooves in your vinyl, and it does not take much for that tiny little crystal to become a magnet for dust and grime.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Yes, a microfibre cloth works for a quick wipe, but it just cannot reach the stubborn residue that clings to the crystal over time, and it’s simply not the right tool for the job.

That is where the Extract Stylus Cleaning Kit comes in.🙏

The brush alone is a great addition, but with the kit, you get a couple of goodies to keep things working in their best condition.

First, you get a magnifying lens to inspect the condition of the stylus before and after you work.

Then, the anti-static brush features soft, resilient bristles, perfect for lifting away dry dust without shedding or causing damage.

If you’ve got some tougher grime, though, our favourite part of the product gets its time to shine, and that’s the cleaning gel.🔥

You simply lower the stylus onto the gel—never dragging it, that’s very important—and when you lift, the deep contaminants stay behind.

Plus, if the gel ever picks up too much dust, you can just rinse it with water and let it air dry to refresh the surface.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹.

It is an essential, high-performance maintenance routine that keeps your records sounding exactly as the artist intended.

Visit our online store to secure your kit and hear the difference that a truly clean stylus makes.

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟳 🎷🎼

Getting together around the reference system with all of you has become our favourite ritual.

While the gear in our listening room is always a talking point, though, Volume 7 reminds us that the real value of a reference system is its ability to simply get out of the way of a great moment.

This Saturday, we’re using it all the way it was intended, and focusing on our favourite community.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁.

For Volume 7, we’ve sourced a selection of jazz that highlights the sheer realism our setup can produce.

That physical grit of the recordings and the subtle nuances we’re always going on about? You’ll get a chance to hear every bit of it this weekend.

It’s an opportunity to sit with the music in a way that daily life rarely allows. 🎆

𝗔𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬:𝟯𝟬 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟭:𝟬𝟬. 🍷

The space is designed to be intimate, which is why these mornings work so well. However, it also means seats are limited.

Booking ahead is the only way to ensure you have a spot in the room.

Join us for Volume 7 to immerse yourself in the music and the conversation that follows. We look forward to seeing the regulars and welcoming a few new faces to the circle.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁💿

Owning a record connects you directly to the artist, plain and simple.

It serves as a physical bridge between the studio intent and your ears, where sound is quite literally etched into a medium to be unlocked by your setup.

When you lower the stylus of a Michell Gyro onto the groove, you participate in a mechanical transformation that brings those carvings to life.

𝗜𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹. 📀

Beyond the audio, though, the collection itself matters, and you can all tell your spouses we said so.

Each record in your rack carries a story. You remember where you bought it and the stage of life you were in when you first discovered those tracks.

Also, even more than online platforms, buying a physical record is an investment in the artists you love, one that you can be sure will never be edited retroactively.

It’s not just censorship and studios you need to worry about with digital media, either.

𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁.

This process strips away the warmth of the room and the delicate decay of a note simply to save on data space.

With vinyl, however, space is only a consideration for your display cabinet… and the aforementioned spouse.😅

When all is said and done, and you’ve got a powerhouse player like the Michell Gyrodeck or another fantastic player handling the classics, you’ll hear it for yourself.

Or, you can come visit us, and hear the distinction of properly preserved sound right now. 🙏

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟲 🎷🎼

We are back once again with a communal listening experience for fellow music lovers in pursuit of the perfect sound.

You might already be familiar with it, but our recently refurbished listening room is created for exactly these moments.

With a selection of powerful equipment, we’re preparing once again to gather with our favourite community…

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟲!

These sessions are the perfect excuse to spend a morning indulging in high-fidelity sound.

We’ve curated a new selection of legendary jazz recordings specifically to pull every bit of nuance and emotional depth from our reference system.

It is a chance to hear familiar classics with fresh ears, as our setup reveals the breathy textures and rhythmic complexities that define the genre. 🎆

We’ll have refreshments ready for the earlycomers, but the real nourishment is the music and the deep discussions that follow a moving performance. 🍷

Doors open at 10:30 for a bit of conversation, and the music starts promptly at 11:00.

Because we keep these sessions intimate and the space is tight, though, you’ll need to book ahead to secure your spot among the community.

𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 ☁️

As we continue our focus on the accessories that define a high-end system, it becomes clear that occupies a unique space in the audio world.

While your amplifier and speakers define the scale of your sound, the interconnects between your components serve as the gatekeepers of the musical signal.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝟴𝟴𝟬𝗶 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼.

It acts as a reminder that the principles of elite performance apply to every corner of your setup, whether you are running a complex reference system (like ours 😉) or a more intimate arrangement.

The 880i comes equipped with Siltech’s proprietary G9 silver-gold alloy, a material engineered to virtually eliminate distortion and combat the electrical noise that can pollute your soundstage.

It also features significantly larger conductors than its predecessors, offering even lower resistance and a massive increase in power handling.

𝗪𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.🔊

The soundstage expands, and though you’d expect it more from speaker or amp upgrades, the 880i really helps to distinguish the various elements of the recording.

What makes this model especially compelling, though, is how much of Siltech’s love it packs into the chord.

We’ve all seen the difference in performance between a flagship piece and a secondary model, and the 880i sits very comfortably in the former category.

Adding it to your setup is a choice you can make to further honour that original recording, one that ensures that the potential of your setup isn’t being throttled by the very things meant to connect it.

𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 📀

The music is always the focus at The Listening Room, but there is a singular, heavy moment before the stylus drops when you are confronted with the silence of your surroundings.

For many, that silence is compromised by the quiet hum of activity just outside the door or the sharp reflection of sound off a bare wall.

Creating the perfect listening space is about mastering these nuances, ensuring that when the performance begins, you hear the recording rather than the room. 🤫✨

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.

While a minimalist aesthetic is popular, large empty surfaces often act as acoustic mirrors, bouncing high frequencies around and creating a harsh, cluttered soundstage.

Strategically placing decor like bookshelves or heavy curtains helps to break up these reflections. These materials act as natural diffusers and absorbers, softening the room’s response and allowing the music to flow with a smoother, more natural decay. 📚🏺

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Placing your speakers at an equal distance from your main seating creates an equilateral triangle, which is the foundation for a precise and stable stereo image.

This alignment ensures that the vocalist seems to remain right in front of you, becoming your personal listening space.

Then, by pulling speakers away from the back walls, you also reduce the bloated bass frequencies that can muddy a performance, revealing the true texture of the low-end. 📐

This level of preparation is the difference between ‘speaker and some chairs’ and a dedicated listening space.
