Maybe I don't know what DPOLS is, as suggested by others in this forum.  All I know is that I can spend a lot of time fiddling with the exact location of the speakers, the sepcific 3 dimensional alignment of the two sets of drivers, and there is just one very specific position for the speakers in the room that makes a gigantic difference in the perception of the sound being like live music.  I can spend literally weeks or months trying to adjust the speakers when they are put in a new room.  Quickly ( after a few days), often there is a small area around this where the sound is pretty good and I can live with this quite happily, but there seems to be one very sepcific arrangement where the music comes alive.  It is a matter of moving the speakers very small amounts by 1/16 of an inch toe in, toe out, forward, back, sideways, etc.  to get it just right.  But when it is there, you know it.  Maybe this is not DPOLS, perhaps I had misunderstood the original posting.  If this is the case, perhaps someone can enlighten me to waht DPOLS really is?

Yes, drdna, what you describe is the DPOLS and the ceremony that you go over to “go there” is very typical for most of people, even who are very experienced with listening room setting and well familiar with DPOLS effect. Certainly there are huge deviation of the DPOLS rules, depending of the topology of the loudspeakers the rooms, the entire setup patters and many other aspect but the important point that if a person knows about this “last 1/16 of inch” and if he experienced with that HUGE contribution that the DPOLS might inflict on the sound of a playback then already there is no ways back….
Anyhow, I never thought that the DPOLS would become a popular notions among the audio-Morons as in order them to be “convinced” they need to be educated by some kind of audio-whore from the pages of thier favorite audio publications where the reviewer will in the end the article explain them that for 3 easy payments of $19.95 the collection of award winning DPOLS will be delivered to them by the Brown Truck. The reality is that the DPOLS is free and open to anyone. All the it requires is sensibility, personal sensitivity acquired taste and some listening intelligence… or the collection of the qualities that the majority of doing audio idiots unfortunately do not have. To teach them about the DPOLS is like explaining to Sahara habitant about the nature of the New Orleans flooding…
