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

As with all parameters of sound quality, the spectrum of performance based on location and toe in is variable, and subject to highly personalized preferences. One typically cannot capture the entire range of parameters of sound quality desired and maximize them all with one setup. It is usually a preferred set of compromises. 

And it's a whole lot of fun to play with setup!  :)
