Man-sized living rooms are Fisher country.

As a reader of this magazine, you probably know that new Fisher receivers are designed to drive the speakers of your choice, cleanly, in the room of your choice. No matter how big or small.

But if your living room is over 2,000 cubic feet (12' x 21' x 8', or bigger) we ask you to consider Fisher floorstanding speaker systems. For the sake of both sound and looks.

Nothing sounds better in a big room than a pair of well designed floorstanding speaker systems.

Look inside either the Fisher XP-12 or the XP-15B and you'll see an uncluttered set-up impossible to achieve in a cabinet of smaller proportions.

The oversized woofer.


One big acoustic suspension woofer (12 inches in the XP-12, 15 inches in the XP15B) reproduces all the bass frequencies without boom or doubling.

The woofer is designed with a special butyl-impregnated surround, to reproduce bass frequencies down to 30 Hz without resonances or distortion. Bass is natural sounding, not thumpy as with some other floorstanding speakers that promise "good bass."

The big mid-range speaker.

Here's the number one reason why our floorstanding systems sound so natural.

In both cases a single, completely isolated 8" speaker (that's the size of a bookshelf-type woofer) reproduces every nuance of the all-important midrange frequencies. One big mid-range speaker eliminates the phase interactions that may occur with multiple drivers. This makes for a cleaner, more precise mid-range than most speaker systems can achieve.

You'll hear it as "bite." The extra, chilling quality live music has, that reproduced music almost never has.

The tweeter-wide dispersion where it counts.

Unless you like to listen to music from behind your speakers, Fisher speakers are your best investment.

The special hemispherical dome tweeter used in our floor-standing speakers reproduces the treble frequencies smoothly, and disperses them around the room.

But unlike the new, reflective, omni-directional speakers, Fisher floorstanding speakers do not scatter all frequencies all over the place, and rob you of a natural stereo spread. With a pair of any Fisher speakers you'll be able to pinpoint the location of each instrument in the orchestra.

Look at it this way.

Fisher floorstanding speaker systems, in their consolette cabinets, are also an elegant addition to your living-room.

Which is important to anyone who's ever tried to convince his wife to spend around $500 merely for superb sound.
