The Diamond Butterfly Speakers emulates the staging you heard in the hall. The so called "sweet spot" (the position in your sound room where reproduction is the best) is therefore virtually your entire sound room. No "head-vices" are required to secure your ears to the optimum spot. Get up, move around, and enjoy the full glory of your sound system without penalty. This is the Diamond Butterfly Speakers.

For the sake of making a complete statement, at the opposite end of the spectrum is the point source. Most other loudspeakers are point sources. Their characteristics are just the opposite of a line source. As you move toward the point source, it gets dramatically louder. When you are near a point source speaker in a stereo system, you will no longer hear the other speaker because of acoustical masking. Also, energy is radiated vertically, which now opens up another bag of worms: The problem of "taming" floor and ceiling reflections.


The only listening position possible to obtain proper staging and spectral balance with point sources is along a line centered between the speakers. You will most likely need a "head vice" to enjoy optimum performance. In contrast, by having no perceptible masking effects, the Diamond Butterfly Speakers avoids this problem.
