The "Audiophile Speaker Set-Up" double CD is a clever tool to help you set up your speakers in the best possible way. The program was developed and compiled by two greats of the audiophile scene: René Laflamme and André Perry. Perry is the founder of the famous "Le Studio" in Québec, which (alongside Abbey Road Studios) has been voted the best studio in the world and has recorded artists such as Cat Stevens, the Bee Gees and Sting. Laflamme, founder of the 2xHD Fidelio label, is one of the most sought-after and innovative sound engineers in the high-end industry and has received over 70 awards for his work.

On 2xCDs over 115 minutes of music, sound samples and tutorials will help you create the ultimate sound experience in your listening room. The 66 tracks include 49 spoken instructions for speaker set-up and optimization. The other 17 tracks are music and sound examples that can be used to assess the progress of the speaker installation.

Trust the expertise of two masters in their field and benefit from Laflamme and Perry's decades of in-depth experience to get the best out of your equipment.
