- Good stands and firm placement is crucial for soundstage depth and bass response.
- Speaker placement sometimes brings dramatic improvements: Try different distances from wall; between each loudspeaker; and (this sometimes does the trick on spacial image) close progressively the angle of the speakers, facing the tweeter to you. Height of stand is important too, so that the tweeter is at your ears height.
- Your amplifier/speaker match is not the best. If you hear mostly jazz, classic music, etc, you should get rid of the B&W. One possible magic combination is Oto SE with Monitor Audio Studio 6 monitors. In jazz beats systems costing 5 times more. These speakers are no longer sold - you must buy them used, and they should cost around $600. If you prefer mostly rock, you should sell both. If you hear all types of music, a good investment would be The B&W 805 Signature for now, and a Pathos Acoustics Twin Towers later.
Kind regards
