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

the closer they are to the speakers the more your image is anchored on the
speakers while forming a "U" between the speakers (speaker output is reinforced with short delay reflections).



That's probably at least partly my issue.  << sigh >>

Tom :

Thanks so much for remembering me. I think you are the third person who ever took any of my advice! Getting good sound with minimal effort and cost is a goal I have for myself and like to share. I'm glad I could help you.


I could make things better here, I'm just ... settling. I had plans to donate furniture, and make a lot more space in the living room, turning the stereo around and re-positioning the 5 panels and 2 bass traps.


Unfortunately the Vet's org won't take furniture this big, and most want me to pay to ship to them, so I'm probably going to junk some big pieces as I downsize, and just thinking of that wears me out. :)


I should make it a priority and reward myself with a nice new rack from Butcher Block Acoustics.


Best,
E

Good point. Very good point. I haven't had a great listening room in ages. :(
