The systems are made in left and right hand versions and are placed in the room so that the tweeters are located at the outside. This provides accurate stereo imaging between the systems and the best arrival times for the individual columns in each system. To get a rough idea of what the prototype weighed, we put it on my old bathroom scale and it went around for the second time totaling 320 lb. The cabinet is divided into an upper and lower section for easier handling and shipping. A dealer can assemble it in a customer's home.
Internal connectors join the top and bottom groups of drivers.
The wires attached to the gold pins and sockets in the connectors are soldered to avoid corrosion. It's a sales feature rather than a performance advantage. Three gold plated dual connectors are in the rear for woofers, mids and tweeters. Two removable gold plated straps connect the three sets together. The crossover network for each column remains connected between the drivers and the input terminals.
