Preliminary :<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In December 2016, I changed country and house. Goodbye France and Clermont-Ferrand, back to Reunion island<\/a> where I was born with almost all of my hifi collection.<\/p>\n

I have 3 rooms that can be used for HiFi here. The living room which is big but open everywhere, a small TV room (437cm x 308cm) which will be converted in a movie and audio theater and the office room (350cm x 350cm) this article is about.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, my big speakers won’t properly fit inside any of these rooms. The Sony APM-8<\/a> will go to the living room, more as decorative items than for a high-end system, the audio theater room will see some Sony APM-66ES<\/a> first and maybe the Sony APM-4<\/a> or APM-6<\/a> after restoration and I decided to put the Pioneer S-F1<\/a> in my office room.<\/p>\n

Why the hell would I put so big speakers in such a small bad audio square room ? The reason is simple : I have nowhere else to put these big cabinets in the house. The APM-8 being some separated 4 ways speakers, it is hardly possible to listen music in near field with them. The S-F1 being some quadraxial and coplanar 4 ways speakers, near field listening is quite like listening to small speakers, so S-F1 it is for the office room ! I’ll have to deal with it.<\/p>\n

The room and listening conditions :<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I wanted to be able to see outside, to not have the incoming door totally at my back and to be close from my computer when I’m working on electronics. Consequently I decided that my computer desk would be on wheels and that the room would have 2 configurations :<\/p>\n
