Speaker blending in symmetric stage setups
#7
Hi Guys

As TUT2 and the DIY Speaker Cabinet books both state, having the guitar wedge in addition to the side/back-line acoustic sources gives the player the Triangle of Power, He will definitely be "inside his sound".

Every performer who experiences this never wants to go back to any other stage setup.

The player's own instrument will seem very loud and clear at the focal point of the multiple sources, yet he can easily hear the rest of the band . The experience is one of "body loudness" NOT "ear loudness", the latter being detrimental to long-term function of hearing in general, including just for this performance and for potential damage to hearing.

Also as reported in the books, the net power from the amp may in fact reduce, which becomes irrelevant with the focusing of the sound fields, and further by the use of detuned cabinets which enhance efficiency. It does not take a lot of power t have loud sound fields when you think about where those sound fields need to be.
