Widening Soundstage


Question for the Audiophile Experts

How do I go about widening my soundstage without moving my speakers further apart
I like the imaging i'm getting but want a bit more air in the music
Any ideas how to proceed
Check out my systems page for details on positioning and equipment

I think what Bobby P is suggesting is not toed out, but just rotate them outward a few degrees at a time. As you found out, straight ahead results in loss of imaging. Now starting at your original position, rotate them outward gradually. You may find a position somewhere between your original toe in and straight ahead that gives you the balance of imaging and soundstage width you are looking for.
Pat- Looking at your pix, it seems to me that you are listening near field, where, I would guess (I'm no psycho-acoustician) that soundstage width would inevitably suffer when compared to imaging. It is just a guess and I am glad that you are getting more of what you want.
