Speaker placement used to be extremely critical if you wanted to get the optimum stereo effect. But not any more. With Scott's new Quadrant Q-100 Speaker *, you can forget about placement problems. Quadrant speakers have been specifically designed to eliminate the "hole-in-the-middle" effect that plagues conventional speakers' stereo performance.
Quadrant speakers have been used, with sensational results, in actual press demonstrations of 4-channel stereo, where the use of conventional speakers results in multiple "holes-in-the-middle." Here's how the Quadrant idea works: two woofers radiating more than 180° each and four midrange/ tweeters radiating more than 90° each are placed around the four sides of the Quadrant speaker. They project full-frequency sound in a complete circle.
The sound is radiated both directly at you and in all directions, using the reflective qualities of your walls to heighten the live stereo effect. Your entire living room becomes a giant sound chamber. No matter where your Quadrant speakers are, you can go anywhere in the room and be surrounded by rich, full-range stereo sound! This freedom of placement is particularly important if you're planning ahead toward 4-channel stereo with its four separate speaker systems.
Hear for yourself the dramatic difference between Scott Quadrant stereo and conventional speaker stereo. Your Scott dealer will show you that no matter where you place your speakers, or what shape your room, the Quadrant will deliver hole-free wall-to-wall stereo. $149.95 each.
