Where should the vocal image be?

@erik_squires

behind the speaker plane. :)

 

but this is extremely recording dependent.

Agreed 👍 When setting up my speakers, I always test their correct/best location based on the main singer being behind the speakers and/or ’into’ and ’within’ the soundstage.

But, as Eric stated, depends on the recording. Nora Jones recordings often frustrate me (as example), as her voice is typically too forward for my taste. 

But, as Eric stated, depends on the recording. 

i mentioned this in the beginning but i see Eric gets the credit

1) depends on the type and model of speakers

2) do not toe in certain speakers, especially Dali's

3) depends on the recordings, too many variables to even begin to discuss regarding this.

Credit on Audiogon really doesn't mean anything, people will still misspell your name even when it is right in front of them. 😂

LOL, sorry Erik
