Lots of good ideas and suggestions as always. Keep them coming. To clarify my vision of image - I have the soundstage- the presentation of instruments and locations. I’m lacking the 3D, the depth. I have a little bit but know it can be improved. The current speakers have been toyed with - toeing in more/less move wider/narrower and all it does is compact or expand the left to right image. I have treated room and moved treatments around as well. I have also tilted speakers upward and downward everything has given minimal to depth.
Looking for the next level in imaging...
I enjoy my system every time I sit down and listen. But as we all do, we get the itch to seek improvement! I am intrigued by Omnidirectional speakers such as MBL’s, German Physiks etc. and breaking free from the head in a vice sweet spot to get better imaging throughout the room and better the imaging in the sweet spot! I believe changing the speaker will deliver on this quest! What speakers would you look at? Or would changing a component yield the result? Has anyone gone from the traditional dispersion speaker to an omnidirectional?
current speakers are Martin Logan Ethos
budget $20-30K...could stretch if something is exceptional
