LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?


Hi,

I'm running a pair of VTL MB185 Mono Amps and I'm interested in replacing my speakers. I do like good imaging, but I also enjoy being able to listen to music with someone. That being said, does anyone have a suggestion for speakers that don't have a tiny sweetspot? (please don't say Bose Acoustimass, lol!) I've been reading about the Von Schweikert, Silverline and Avatar. Does anyone have an opinion on them or any other? I have about $3000.00 to spend on the used market.

Thansk!

Newbee's suggestion is good. Toe-in the speakers so that lines drawn from each driver at 90 degrees to the face of the speaker would cross a couple of feet in front of the listening position. If necessary move the speakers slightly further apart. This helps to broaden the sweet spot for imaging.

Following the Cardas room placement rules have helped broaden the sweet spot in terms of tonal balance for me.

It worked well for me.
