yep...hell my actual listening area is smaller than that and I have Legacy Signature speakers which are large floorstanders. I have them 8 feet apart, 4 feet from the side walls and about 3 feet from the front wall. And my seating position is 8 feet from the speakers...so basically a triangle with 8 feet sides, and they are toed in to cross behind my head. Excellent width and depth...it’s recording dependent of course. I was checking out two renditions of Bluesy Burrell for instance, one remastered and one original master, while the original is wide stereo, the remaster is brought in closer to the center (I prefer the original), and you can’t miss the placement of the musicians in my room if you tried...
Can good soundstage be had in small room
I have a rather small living room measured at about 11 x 18 feet. I currently have a modest set up that does a good job at replaying music, but I think I am ready to move up.
The problem is that since my room is pretty small, even if I get a nice system, I won't be able to get good soundstage regardless how good the equipments are.
With the room as it is right now, to maintain a listening position of about 9ft from the speakers, the best I can do is to place the speakers at about 1.5 from the front wall, and even then I have to sit right up to the back wall.
So my question is can I get a nice soundstage given the limited space between my speakers and the front wall?
