    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...

    DCM Time Window 1a's, two sets, very different sound and internals, anyone else ran into this?

    Have thoroughly enjoyed my 1a's for many years. Run them with a PSAudio stellar 300 amp and tube preamp for a little "color". Sound staging just amazing...As of late, Stevie Nicks voice began sounding a bit hmmm rough...not pleasing as she always has been for me. I also run a Driverack PA 2 that...

    Soundstage from two channels: where does it come from?

    I've been pondering this question recently - "Where does the "soundstage" that we claim to hear come from? In practically every review of equipment, the reviewer claims that the reviewed equipment has a certain soundstage, be it wide, tall deep, flat, forward, diffuse, or whatever other...

    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...

    Recommendation on an integrated tube amp for Altec Lansing Model 14.

    I got an Altec Model 14 speakers and currently using solid state equipment at this moment. I'd like to use an integrated tube amp that will best match model 14 and provide a more holographic stereo imaging and sweet soundstage. Let me know your recommendation and what was you're experience...

    Holographic Stereo Image & Listening Position

    I was reading up about true holographic stereo imaging (along with speaker placement and room acoustics) and the best recordings one can sample which represents the phenomenon precisely. I watched some YouTube videos on the subject as well. PS Audio's Paul McGowan has a YouTube channel; his two...

    Depth Poll - Where is your image located?

    I'm curious about where the stereo image forms in all y'all's systems, and how much depth is presented. 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...

    Jbl l100 and 4311 imaging (or lack thereof)

    For such a regarded speaker youd think they would perform excellent in soundstage and imaging. Now, if others have been able to produce a stereoscopic audio image with these speakers id like to know how they did it because ive failed to get even the slightest imaging out of them no matter the...

    New speaker set up discovery?

    Did I accidentally discover something? Let me know if this is already been addressed. I’ve got a room with a nice alcove built into the wall. I swear I get more soundstage depth with it. I’ve put a large piece of masonite over the alcove to test my theory. I wish I was building a home. I’d...

    Audio Research SP11 vs Luxman CL-35 MkIII

    Greetings. I am looking for feedback from those that have heard Audio Research and Luxman gear in their experience. I recently acquired an SP11 hybrid preamp with stock tubes. Plugged it in to the main system in place of a Luxman CL-35 mkIII, and instantly noticed a difference in imaging and...

    Is Soundstage equal to or like Surround?

    I have a small 2 channel system that I like the tonal qualities of. Also I have a 7.1 surround system that I like to listen to certain music on. The 7.1 system just doesn't seem to have the "timber" that I like for certain songs but the clarity seems to be there. On the 2 channel system the...

    Imaging

    I have a question about imagine and basically what this should sound like. If I close my eyes, should it sound like a band is playing in front of me? But at a concert, the sound you hear is from speakers anyway, in fact the sound you hear from any instrument besides classical is from a speaker...

    Please help me choose the best loudspeakers for soundstage depth

    My current speakers belong to the JBL titanium family; JBL 120Tis, a single JBL 4410, JBL L20Ts, and JBL LX44s. They are excellent speakers, and many of them have given me "wow" moments. The first and foremost "wow" is caused by their crisp yet clean HF. From the cymbal-heavy intro of John...

    Mission 763i... NOW I understand "sound stage"

    I just had an eureka moment. Picked up another bargain - a pair of Mission 763i speakers in good shape. I disconnected a pair of Paradigm 5se Mk3 and wired up the Missions. It became very apparent that the latter presents the audio in an almost 3 dimensional way. From drum solos to symphony to...

    Wilson Audio Sophia 3 Question

    Dear friends, I have recently found the chance to upgrade my speakers to a pair of Wilson Audio Sophia 3's. They are driven by a McIntosh MA8000 (300w p/ch SS amp). Although the details in music, huge dynamics and being able to hear more layers in music have been a stunning experience for me...

    Why "thinner sound" from Yamaha is better than "bigger warm sound" from other brands

    Well I give you a short , very logically, and testable explanation. A video clip has 2 big parameters for video quality: 1 is resolution ( HD, Full HD) 2 bitrate (Mbps) A lower resolution with a higher bitrate can have a better video quality than a higher resolution with a lower bitrate. Is...
