You’re close, very close. It’s a hemisphere, half a bubble. If it was a sphere we’d hear things below the boundary of the floor. 😬 The soundstage is also defined by the density, transparency, gestalt/organization of the images, solidity of the images and accuracy of the shape of the images. Just when you think you have a good soundstage along comes a guy like my customer no. 1 who has completely REDEFINED what is possible for a soundstage. Everyone else, sadly perhaps, is at least two paradigms behind the power curve.
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

ieales. IMO, most HiFi haven’t a clue as to what constitutes an accurate presentation. Lord knows that most shops are incapable of an accurate presentation. >>>I heard a system a few days ago that puts everything else to shame. If you could hear what I heard with my ears. Great soundstage has almost nothing to do with brand names. Everything is relative. - A. Einstein |
