Reviews of Attainable Hi-Fi & Home-Theater Equipment


To Doug Schneider,

I moved my speakers to another part of the room and now they don’t sound the same. They used to sound full, but now they sound almost muted and with less bass. Does the room make that big of a difference? Did I damage something?

It sounds like you have your speakers hooked up out of phase. In other words, the positive and the negative leads are reversed on one of the speakers and you’re hearing the cancellations that this can cause. Go and check all your connections very carefully at the speakers and at the amplifier. I’m 99 percent sure that’s the culprit. If not, write back. . . . Doug Schneider
