Thank you Doug, this is new and interesting. BTW I run Vandy 5As which I think highlight this effect to some degree wth their first order xovers.
Tri Planar / ZYX Universe soundstaging
My question in simplistic terms; does the above combo have a more pronounced (smaller) sweet spot? Is that a trade off for either of these components or other products at this level?
I would think not but here is why I ask.
Currently in mid-stride with my analog rig, I added a TriPlanar 7 to my Aries2 with the Universe (X low output). After spending some time with the setup I found a point of adjustment where things sound good in the center sweet spot but there is a slight but noticeable change in focas moving off center. Its different than with the 10.5, as it should be in some ways, and it is different than from sources as well.
This is a temporary situation and I may have a different table in a few more weeks.
What I am experiencing just enough to ask the question. With all the adjustments on the Tri to dial it in and using the Universe, should you expect a fantastic sweet spot with more fall off away from there?
Thanks for your input, Terry
