    4 speaker stereo imaging/soundstage

    Hi all, I've read a few posts about this subject, have set up my 4 speaker stereo in a room 17'x17'. I used string and measuring tape to place the speakers. Once speakers were placed and centered towards the back of a chair (sweet spot) where the ears would be, I was surprised at the outcome...

    Are passive speakers destined to sound less "forward" than active speakers at low volume?

    I recently got into high-quality audio, and my first set-up has been a set of Yamah NS-8s along with a Yamaha RX-V490 receiver. At first, I was excited to hear what my set-up would sound like, but I was soon disappointed by the lack-luster, "far off" sounding music that resulted. It was nothing...

    Stereo Mojo - Lost & Found

    Friday I was watching a short movie about the Carpenters on PBS, on the modest HT setup in my bedroom, and when they broke off into their fund-raising schtick, I thought “I can do better than this”, and went out into the living room and put on my greatest hits LP of theirs - Carpenters The...

I know this can vary from recording to recording, but in general terms, where is your image? Please share any insight you have gathered regarding depth and image location - what expanded it...

    Stereo imaging and visual localization

    Whenever the topic of stereo imaging and soundstages are discussed you'll often hear people claim to be able to pick out and identify the locations of where each instrument is being played by the musician as if they were on stage in front of them... this of course is very much true and my...

    Time alignment and imaging

    Ever since picking up a pair of technics sb-7000a speakers I've completely dismissed other speaker designs that utilize a flat baffle or non mirrored driver configuration. Up until my acquisition of the technics speakers I had never experienced stereo imaging. I had heard of it and read lengthy...

    Stereo Image Center Shifted with Fancy (Used) Receiver vs. Vintage

    Hey all, bear with me as I try to clearly communicate what is going on in my noob head. So...I have a Sansui 661, Marantz 2230, and McIntosh MC250 hooked up to some Klipsch Quartets. It sounded good but I wanted to see what some modern electronics would do to the room. Not really looking to...
