The Riddle
Listening to music on small-sized systems is a reasonable and quite understandable preference, given that they are easily installed in many venues.
Although the compromises required make this sort of design almost impossible, Sonnet offers a solution to bypass the Laws of Physics. To integrate this strict definition, while we can safely say that we perform miracles to do our best at Chario Loudspeakers, we are nonetheless proud to say that we are strangers to miraculous designs.
Two-way bookshelf systems usually have the tweeter in the upper position. If the designer is also aiming for time alignment of the two transducers, the plinth must be given a suitable back tilt. Sonnet fits in with this principle except that the tweeter is underneath ... So the cabinet should be tilted forwards..
Perhaps the solution to the Riddle lies in the Sonnet operating theory of approaching issues that common sense isn’t aware of ...
