I run Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers. Transmission line design. There is clearly the impression of height in the soundstage. Sometimes it's actually annoying to hear an instrument that appears to be several feet above the rest of the band. I put in down to the upper postion of the midrange and tweeter. They are a couple feet above my ears in the listening position. I just close my eyes and picture a two tier stage. Works for me.
Soundstage and image height, does it exist?
On another site, there is a discussion on soundstage, and there are a few people clamming, that, since there is no vertical information encoded on stereo recordings, that soundstage height does not actually exist. It is a product of our minds filling in missing information.
Are they correct?
Please explain your position, with as much technical details as you feel needed.
