Limited soundstage between speakers


No matter what the source, the soundstage in my system remains within the width of the speakers. I read with envy of systems which extend the soundstage outside the speaker boundaries. Is this a problem with my speakers, amplification, room boundaries or something else?

What change should I make to improve the soundstage?

Just read an interesting about extreme toe in, I tried it; aimed the left channel to the extreme right of my listening area and vice versa. You can use a laser measuring device to really dial it in. I'm still on the fence about it; the only problem I "see' doing this is that I'll have to get a bigger chair/couch😁

The Zobel networks are the simple and super effective fix. I could have never imagined. But now every record is a concert with the musicians standing realistically across a vivid soundstage. On AG they are called Deulund-Mundorf Ultra Speaker Purifiers.

OP here, thanks to suggestions offered here I tried the following:

1. move chair closer to speakers to form an equilateral triangle rather than isoceles and turn the speakers to straight ahead position. result- a wider soundstage!!!

But I cant leave well alone , so

2. toe the speakers in so that they point right at my head. Result- soundstage shrank towards center but gained depth and instruments &voices seemed more focused. Also noticed that some upper frequency hash was reduced which altered the tonal balance down a bit.

Which did I choose? I 'm not telling. Maybe I will go halfway...maybe not!

I always thought I had got my speaker placement right years ago but I have learned it pays to experiment
