Speakers "Disappearing"


I have read a lot about speakers "disappearing" so that one can't tell from where the sound is emanating. But, what about all the stereo tunes where the recordiing engineer intentionally pans the music to come from one side or the other? Can the speakers be made to "disappear" in that situation? Or, is it just the nature of the particular recording?

Keep in mind that every recording has a different "Recorded Code". So you play a few recordings and the soundstage is fine to you, and there's that next recording that doesn't do so well. It's not that the recording is bad. It's simply that you need to make your adjustments to tune in that code. The more you make your system variable the easier it will be to play any recording.

Hi Dill

Thanks for the welcome! Glad to see your RoomTuning!

When I see topics about making speakers disappear, and soundstaging, I get curious to see how many folks are using RoomTune. Collecting equipment is fun, but it's even more fun to get down to the business of tuning in our systems and recordings. Nothing quite like the hobby of tuning.


take care

Hi Corelli and Drewster, Great to see some Tunees on Audiogon.

Those reading this thread should think about how big a recorded stage really is. They're a lot bigger than your typical High End Audio system playback suggest.

I remember working with the Stereophile and TAS reviewers, introducing them to the bigger stage event. For about 3 years, back in the 90's, I was like the big stage missionary on call :)

The high end part of the hobby got weird there for a few years, but it's quickly getting back on track.
