Sound Stage and Imaging


I love speakers who 'paint a big picture' (I am literally closing my eyes and trying to SEE a picture). Therefore I THINK I like to see IMAGING and BIG SOUND STAGE. And also like DYNAMICS.

Being frugal (just not willing to spent audiophile level money on it), I love to persuit 'bang for buck' solutions in general.

With above goals in mind for a speaker: what hits the marks in the low fi (audiphile scale) $2k (used or new) budget range. (I have 2 setups: one HUGE room, one 20x20).

you have all talked about speakers and their imaging/sound stage. Please describe your idea/description of what you mean by imaging/sound stage and what about black background.

magneplanar: unless recently rebuild, I don't want to deal with the potential issues. Locally listed is a pair of MG1. Also MG1B.

Do Magnepan (1.6 local) fall in the same category? 

Martin Logan ESL (local used), Best Buy ESL 8"?

Martin Logan Aerius?

@kraftwerkturbo The Mini Lores don’t have the tweeter array that really makes the Tekton speakers a great value for your money.

Lower-end Magneplanars.

But when it comes to soundstage, cables, room acoustics, & power conditioning are essentail.  You're talking about very tiny phase & amplitude
