    Stereo Imaging and Soundstage

    The mono button is quite useful . I put the signal in mono first when placing speakers. Center the image with the side to side placement first. Get it as sharp/clear as you can.

    I would love to see pictures of this. Historical value to me to see early design changes Marc made. I also have an XB in the wings for future modification.

    Why does this combo sound so good?

    Pyrrho . Thank you for the link to the explanation of this "Synergy". Look at the dats impedance graph I posted. My Cornwall speakers have peaks where the "Synergy" is happening. Very cool to have data to explain the event.

    Why does this combo sound so good?

    I tried a tube receiver with 30 watts a channel. Too much bass and lacked detail. Quite disappointing actually. The particular receiver had partial or full loudness switch.

    Why does this combo sound so good?

    I am very pleased in finding this pairing. No I gave up drinking, I was very good at it. Thank you for the detailed explanation. The preamp section of the Sherwood will also play a roll. The change just caught me by surprise.

    Why does this combo sound so good?

    What was the damping factor of each? This is what I think might be a piece of the puzzle. Thanks.

    Why does this combo sound so good?

    I have 1986 Klipsch Cornwall speakers. The amp/receiver that sounds the best so far is a Sherwood S-9400CP. Why does it work? The others that have been tried are as follows. Crown ps200 power amp damping factor 400 . This had power to spare but a bit too dry. A Yamaha CA1000 damping factor 70...

    My sonic temple...new listening space under construction

    I do not know. I do know rear ported speakers are affected by the distance of port to the wall. Stands to reason your ports would also be affected. It would be an interesting experiment.
