Looking for wider soundstage

Well I got one pic posted in my profile. Not great. Sorry. I think I can get a wider one later. 

Added a couple more pics. Also from middle of left speaker to middle of right speaker it is about 7’ not 13. Listening position is about 8.5’. Not sure if I can get my own room or not. Would love to though. I might be able to put up something temporary behind speakers and behind electronics though. Is speaker height high enough or does it need to go higher? Thanks. 

Edcyn yeah wife just hates when that happens. 
 

russ69 thanks for the suggestion. I have actually moved the speakers out about 2 feet total from the wall. I will try 4 feet. I also have had them towed in as well as out but the toe in was probably only 15 to 20 degrees. I will try several different angles after I move them out further from the back wall. 

Thanks for those recent suggestions. I will try them. 

sudnh I gave your suggestion a try and I did get a bit better sounstaging. I have a few other things to try but it has become clear that room treatment is probably going to be the best thing I can do. Or find a whole new room as mijostyn suggested. Thank you. 

designsfx I have thought about that. The logistics of the room as it’s setup for tv viewing would make that move difficult. I would really like to try that though. I could switch sides with the listening spot and the electronic/speakers. That would put a curtain behind the rack and speakers. Would that be better than current setup?

dekay I’ll give that a shot. 
 

mijostyn that is bad news. 

Fletcher Thanks for your thoughts. I have been thinking about going that route from a previous poster. The brand he was using is Synergistic Research. I do like the idea of not having to treat the entire room with large panels. Thanks again. 

I will get a pic posted. 

Bear with me. Having trouble posting a pic either in discussion or on profile page. Sheesh. 

Ook not getting pic thing so will describe. Room is 22x17x8. Speakers are along the 22’ wall. Seating position is 15’ from speakers which are 13’ apart. There is a window behind listening position with a curtain. Floor is thickly carpeted. Behind speakers is drywall wall. There is no extra sound enhancing furniture in the room. That’s really about it. I will post a pic when I can but hoping the description will help. Thanks. 

I also have an option of trading places with my 6 foot sofa that I listen from with the longer 9 foot one that is blocking reflections. Is that an insignificant change or would that help out?

I took pics from listening position. I think my listening position is as good as I can do. 

arion I will give that a shot. 
 

fertguy haha. Close. 

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I’ve been able to try a few and will try the rest tomorrow. Thanks again. You have been most helpful. 

designsfx I would very much appreciate your thoughts on speaker placement dimensions if I were to move them to the opposite side of the room. Thank you. 

mamba like spatial audio for example?

motorcy can you send me a link please. Thanks. 

Thanks motorcyclphil 

Wyoboy thanks for the suggestions. I am going through the process of figuring out what will work best if I continue using this room vs trying to find another place for the 2 channel stuff and just using this room for HT. I totally agree that my current situation is about as bad as it could be as many have let me know. Maybe eventually I can post pictures of a better configuration for the 2 channel listening environment. Thanks again. 

Tweak1 I have considered that. Like the Spatial Audios. Thanks for suggesting. 

Mijostyn thanks for heads up. Would those be better than my Legacy?  Seems they would be more like the Legacy than different. 

Secretguy It’s a roller coaster for sure. Haha. Bu also a lot of very thoughtful and useful information and I am grateful for all the feedback.
