How tall do you like your images?


Just wondering, when you listen, do you like your stereo image to be at ear level, above, below, or do you like planars thanks to having a steady image no matter if you are standing or sitting?

How do you measure "image" height? Your imagination calculator? Height for performing musicians is relative to your distance from the performers, and the height of their sound...well...are musical notes height quantifiable? My system images well enough that I rarely think about it.

An aside...One of my criticisms of studio mixers is the mixing of drums. Too often they pan a cymbal (or any drum really) so it seems to be played by somebody thirty feet away or the mix showcases a twenty foot wide drum kit...lame. 

...if friend @dekay ,its' "Up.Up.and Ahhhhhhhhhhhhway!" *L*

"Old odd freaks just vague away....."  Gotta love the symptoms.... ;) 🤪

Yours Unruly 'normally' (..it does occur...) prefers 'life sized', but the mix can vary that...
In surround, especially.....

"Minions and giants need not apply...."

Unless it's 'Awesome Hour'....

Dial it up, and break the knob off.

Db to all who oppose us...

 

It is also worth mentioning here the depth of the image on the stage, depending on the space behind the speakers and the size of the room. In any case, you can resort to the installation of diffusion plates, either on the front or rear wall, it all depends if you want advanced or delayed, if it is a 2-channel or a multi-channel.
