What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework?

"I even took the wall out inbetween the speakers...."

Interesting comment. In one room, I have the speakers placed on the sides of a bay window, well away from the side and back walls. On good recordings, the image depth is as deep as the depth of the bay window and sometimes even more. I always wondered how deep could it go if the space was open to another room.

Sorry we are going completely off topic here with speaker placement but I now completely understand George's point. In my case I have the same side/back wall set up but the bay window is about a meter deep and it feels like the musicians are sitting deep inside the recess, sort of like orchestra seats 5 rows back. I'm sure it would be even closer to live music with nothing in the middle.

Back to the original topic....
