Thank you achipo....
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

Going more nearfield is perhaps the best way to deal with a difficult room. You like the speakers with less toe in probably because they are too bright pointed straight at you or by toeing them out you are getting less reflection off the front wall. Find your first reflection points using the mirror method and place absorbent foam tiles at these points. It will further improve your imaging. It will also seem less bright so you may prefer more toe in. |
Congratulations. It sounds like you're on the right path. I can highly recommend Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" as a systematic way to improve your sound and room. https://www.getbettersound.com/ |
