Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging...

... First off I have a odd room for my two channel listening and have been getting beat up trying to find proper placement. I have been reading a lot here and on the inter web and decided to use the room setup calculator on the Cardas site. ( http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php )

#1 was how close to each other the speakers are now. I wouldn’t have placed them that close together.

#2 was that the best imaging and staging is with zero toe in.

Having a hard time wrapping my head around these changes but it’s the best my system has sounded since I finished the putting it together. lol

mijostyn... It's not really a bright system per say I was placing the 10T's to close to the side walls evidently and bringing them closer together helped with staging... I now hear the music and the speakers melt into the music.

I have a C41 Mac pre and a new A21+ with a dedicated DAC so things are simple and clean.

Had a pair of Logans before the 10t's so I am searching for the large soundscape again. The Logans were the worst as far as durability... I replaced almost every driver and that was expensive. lol

Drbond…. I started with getting the speakers square with the front wall and the heads square with the bass cabs… I toed in millimeters at a time and the imaging got worse each time. So, back to zero toe in. I am surprised actually.
