room size question.


( wasnt sure what category to put this in ,so figured this one would get more views)

 

in watching some you tube videos, one from Jays audio lab, and another one from Paul ( ps audio ), they both mention how the speakers should be set up in the room and it seems they bring them out into the room quite a bit.    they say that when this happens, you have the soundstage and jay was mentioning that there are layers that one gets to hear when listening.

my question i guess is that can this same thing happen in a smaller room, say 12x12 or is one just limited to say center imaging due to room size ?

room is treated

 

this is the ps audio video

I agree , It must be frustating.

I have soundstage , depth , and height.

My room is 12 X 30 (it is opened to the dining room )

The walls are covered with absorbtion-diffuser and diffuser pannels.

( maybe too many )

The ceiling has some acoustic pannels as well.

May be , some speakers are better at soundstage-depth-height ??

My speakers (Audiovector R6 Arreté ) are slightly toed in  and tilted .

After trying all this , maybe acoustic pannels ( diffusers-diffracters , not absorbers )

on the side walls .

you may also try the distance between your speakers , be 83% of the distance between you and the speakers.

Virtual system about your room could help.
