Focal Alto Utopias Width and Depth of Sound Stage


Hi,

I have a pair of these speakers driven by Jadis JA100 monos.
It all sounds very good but I can't get out of them the width and depth some folks say they can produce. Music is almost always between the speakers, depth limited to about 1 meter behind them, etc.

I tend to think it's related to positioning of the speakers.

My room is about WxLxH 5X8X3.5 meters, the speakers are on the wide side about 3 meters apart and 1 meter from the back wall, I seat about 3 meters away from the speakers.

Does anyone have any experience with those and how to get the best out of them?

Thanks.

Thanks guys for your comments. I'll try these to see how they work for me.

Regards.
Thanks Jhardy,

My Altos are on the short wall, I think I didn't make it clear earlier. Sorry.
I will try putting them closer.
Sitting further away though is practically impossible in our living room.

Will report back with the results.

Thanks again,
Oren.
