Continuing in my quest to the finding the new DPoLS with my Super Milq I did some “critical test listing” today. I’m certainly getting closer. I spent a few hours to play with the playback and I recognize that the first signs of the approximation of ...

I had no idea that DPOLS was such a controversial topic! While I do know a local stereo dealer that believes in setting up speakers based on where they look good (and he sells AvantGardes BTW), I think he does so many other things right to twea...

Dear RomyThanksI try with my friend to find it thought it may be impossible, the most noticable thing about dpols in my view is unbelievable high level of passion and emotion in sound.again, I should thanks you for this article because if i did not f...

...disconects you from outside world and music plays "inside" you. The first impression is redundancy of Soundstage or even imaging as you become one with music. Then you don't care about any problems your playback system may have, like resulotion, t...

Twogoodears, What you are experimentation now has yet nothing to do with DPoLS. You deal with the relatively rudimental ceremony of speaker positioning. It is not even close to the subject of DPoLS but it is also greatly neglected by majority of peop...

Romy:As you explore best listening position, can you please share how you search for new DPOLs?One thing I never understand is, as you walk around room and talk to yourself, you find places where you sound better or worse. You find some places where ...

After more than 20 years of playing audio game I think only two things are real game changers. DPOLS and Good AC qualityI do not claim I listened to Wilson Speaker in DPOLS but I am sure it was near DPOLS 14 years ago. I remember for the first time...

[quote user="anthony"]Macondo is no magic bullet. Sure, Macondo/DSET is put together in a way that it's components need for optimal operation, and when "used as directed" the performance is phenomonal, but it is still prone to room integration and p...

This was the most astonishing and bewildering moment of my
entire audio life. It was in 2000. That time I lived in cozy downtown Boston
apartment that I absolutely loved. The apartment sounded fabulously with pretty
much any playback you put in. A...

I'm kind of wondering what is going on. The sound I'm getting now from Remedios is truly nothing special, it is very rich for a typical sound of 10" red driver. I might play with baffle, perhaps I will be able to get compression under control, even I...

Somewhere within this thread (or perhaps somewhere else) I have mentioned that my own playback systems last times was dead-installed into the DpoLS approximately 5 years ago. I kind of did not make a whole a lot of attempts with DpoLS since I was doi...

[quote user="DHT4ME"]In reading this thread I am compelled to ask the simple question about the rest of the room. In my experience moving furniture and room treatments also make a huge impact and must certainly inffluence the perfect lcation ...

From an email that I got today:
“Just in one time I listened a sound that it's character was so close to your description about DPoLS ponit. That time me and my friend never think the placement was cause of good sound. My friend changed speaker posi...

Zanon, My playback is nowhere near the state where I might think about the DPoLS, I am trying to set up a very rudimental basic balanced sound in the new room, approximately defining where would be the speakers, what they will be doing and how they w...

Actually there are many hidden aspects of DPOLS, the aspects that, many audio people who never experienced DPOLS but wiling to argue about it, do not even understand. Interesting that by observing some of this aspects is it very easy to detect where ...

Rowuk, I did not read how Bob does it I do not think that what he does has anything to do with bass. I would be surpassed if it was. I mean, bass plays a lot of role in phase randomizing and in many other aspects of imaging, but I do not think that ...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]… I am still a bit concerned how the girl-with-string-bass will go over in your house, but Robbins himself said he is tired of that song….[/quote]JJ, I know what you are taking about and references to “that song” is something ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "listening to the room" is NOT the DPoLS subject in my view, however, if you feel that it is then it is fine with me.
The Cat[/quote]I agree with romy , I think DPOLS help us to find the most neutral zone in room but d...

Bruno,Let me clarify some things. First, I am not making any negative criticism of Bob Robbins or his method. Not having heard a system set up his way, I cannot say anything definite about the results. Also, while I visited Romy twice (in Boston Back...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
For instance the narrowing distance between the channels increase the width of that damn audiophile’s soundstage, whatever it worth. Generally the setting the speakers wider from each other make soundstage wider. Yes, wit...

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...

Since my new room is set and the playback is installed and configures I name an interesting observation:

Anthony, I do not know what you new buffer is. A few notes. The difference between sub 10R and 300R of output impedance is significant for the load you have (Milq) between your new buffer and your 10Y preamp. The type of the description you provided,...

Romy -
I am interested in how you personally discovered dpols for your own personal reference. You Say:
"Actually it is not
really correct because if you approach the DPoLS from the position of
“tweaking” then you NEVER di...

I listened to this talk up to the beginning of the question-and-answer session. I am surprised that this method would really capture the essence of Romy's almighty DPOLS condition. It seems to me that Robbins is very much centered on imaging alone, a...

I must be missing something - or not be ready for this yet. Here are my understanding problems:1) he starts with the "left" speaker and searches for the best bass. I would think that one should search individually with the left and right and pick the...
