Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Thread Like Summary - Trifield is the business!

After many years of discounting trifield in favour of direct I have now persevered and find it spectacular.
I put this down to my centre speaker not being broken in and the fabulous iPlayer house/rave content available.
A night in with a bit of quality house music, big screen, Meridian Trifield, sorted.
I still don’t really understand the depth adjustment however, all is so good no worries.

I’ll give you a few tips that I enjoyed in my setup.

Trifield:
1. Max width 1.5, gives better integration and lets more sound into the L R.
2. Remove the xover cutoff in the sides/rear if you have full range sides/rears.
3. Position the 3 fronts on a circle equidistant from listening position.
Depth affect the timing of the centre in relation to the L R. Every .5 or full sounds different in timing.
4. If you made L C R equidistant from your listening position consider depth 0.

If you think it's good with 3 'speakers, wait until you try it with 5 (or more)...

PS make sure the rears are voiced the same as the mains / centre.

All the best,

Steve

Nice mix of kit here chaps but I'm sorry to say, a CD in Direct on my 808.5 & 8K's just blows everything away!

I’ve had 6Ks twice. First time bass was overwhelming, second time it was all perfect. Same room. Tweeters and re-cap on the second pair - makes a huge difference on 6Ks as they tend to be quite old by now… Also periodically carefully re-tighten bass drivers - nothing crazy, just nip them up to make sure they’re not loose.

Also important to position well in the room. The second time I played a little more and found more of a sweet spot.
