I definitely experience a 3D arc soundstage from a lot of recordings, with some elements of the recordings projecting as far as 15ft behind the speakers. Something I have noticed with a lot of recordings is that the vocals are placed further back than the instruments. It sounds impressive but not always as I think it should sound. This could simply be a common ‘style’ of recording, but I think it might be less apparent if my listening position was further away from the speakers. Unfortunately, the constraints of my room means my listening position can only be 7ft away from the speakers.
Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc??
Hi Everyone,
I am not trolling, I genuinely am interested in your experiences.
When listening to a system you feel images well, how do you perceive the sound stage? Do you perceive it as a rectangular space on which the speakers sit, or does it sound like an arc, going further back towards the middle?
Please give examples with music and speakers if you have the time.
Thanks,
Erik
