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

“And don't have any equipment on high racks between speakers. Not having anything other than room treatments between speakers is perhaps the most important thing in getting 3d imaging. You can have equipment low to ground, anything higher than 20" or so starts affecting my sound stage.”

This post pertain to using a 5 channel HT system for 2 channel listening. 
1. Should I put sound absorption on the left and right of my center channel speaker*/amp stand?*top of same between 36 & 38” from the floor. 

2. Pull out my 42” high LR towers a few inches so my center front baffle is several inches behind the LR front baffles? Towers’ tweeters’ measure center to center  ~11’. I could also push back the center speaker 2-4”.
