4 channel listening...Jesus Crites!

[angelaudio]

Was perusing AK one day when I came across the Haffler effect. Well, I tried it except that Instead of hooking up all speakers together I used Y cables to split the source to two amps so I could control volume separately for rear and front. I must say I am BLOWN AWAY. It’s bringing so much more depth and detail out of CD’s...haven’t tried it with vinyl as my source but I will soon.

Anybody else run 4 speakers? If so how do you set them up? I have my La Scalas 9’ away from me and 7’ apart from each other toe slightly in. For the rears a pair of lowly CS-33a’s laid on their sides at my eat level facing me. Running the front with a Marantz 170DC and the rears with a lowly 25 watt Yamaha natural sound amp.

I don’t think I can ever go back to 2-channel after this...tighter bass, more detail and depth.

Acoustics are fun, aren't they?
I imagine most who've been at this for some time have tried something similar.

For my part, I was impressed by running more directional speakers as "fronts", with open baffles off to side, set back a few feet, volume on the lower side.

Yes and it sure sounds good.

If so how do you set them up?
