Widening Soundstage

Moving the speakers a bit closer together is another good suggestion. I also do not use an equilateral triangle for my set-up. My speakers are 4.75' apart and my listening position is 5.5' away. You can play around with percentages, but usually making the speaker to speaker distance 85% of the speaker to listening distance is a good place to start.

Agree with you on the Sason's as well. I was very impressed with those speakers when I heard them.

Previously I had the speakers approx 6 feet apart and thought the soundstage was a bit narrow so I moved them approx foot wider with slight toe in (15-20%)and left them as is. The sound is good but a bit wider sounstage would be ideal

I may try moving my listening chair a bit more forward and see how that works out

Thanks

mf and swampwalker, i am not sure of the tweeter used in the speaker however, yes not toed straight out but toed out from directly on axis.
i would have to do an analysis to really know exactly but as i said, soft domes are designed up on axis as a rule to broaden the dispersion off axis. so the preferred listening angle will not be on axis but toed out from on axis. my suggestion is to make a 10% angle the length of the cabinet sides and with the point to the rear of the speaker, look down the hypotenuse to the listening position. do this for both speakers and see what you think. i am sure it will be better than right on axis.
best,

mf, fix the alignment tool to the inside face of each speaker as suggested. sorry.
