Help on soundstaging


Hello, I have acquired a a pair of Epos ELS-3 and have them on 24 inch stands filled with sand. I have them about a foot from the wall and they are six feet apart. I'm trying to lock them in and create a stage. The room is small(apartment) so placement is probably critical. I know these spkrs can sound better than they do at the moment. Any help is appreciated. Enjoy the music. (BTW I have them firing straight out.)

Down and dirty advise. Bring them out into the room about 4 feet and set up the listening position equal distance from the speakers as they are from each other. Start with toe in so the axis of the speakers crosses several feet behind your head. The move your speakers backward and forward a few inches at a time, and/or your listening position, and see what happens. Also vary the degree of toe in from having the speakers pointed straight ahead to where the axis crosses in front of the listening position.

With a lot of careful listening and patience you aught to find a pretty good sound stage.

If you want more specific advise provide some details about room size and present position of listening position and speakers in your room. Describe any room openings and windows as well as floor and wall furnishings, etc. Also describe the tonal sonics as they now exist.
