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 remark is sarcasm not an answer...

My post only said that there is acoustics explanation for imaging and soundstage dimension ...

The gear synergy and design play an important role too ...

The electrical and mecanical embeddings controls of the system too ...

I also said that no DSP which is only a useful tool can replace the factors and parameters above nor replace the ears training by the way ... In the opposite DSP work the better when HRTF function and inner ears measures are done ...

I also said that any stereo system at any price will suffer from a lost of spatial qualities information by crosstalk interference in the ears/brain information processing, then no DSP can correct effectively this without timbre degradation in the process save the BACCH filters DSP not the one you play with 😊...

You said that i must stick to headphones which is sarcasm devoid of arguments as is your dogmatic usual posture after reading the DSP manual owner as scriptures ...

Acoustics and psycho-acoustics rule the gear/room relation, Your DSP is not enough ...

Imaging dont appear by luck save perhaps in your life not in mine , imaging appear once the synergy between the pieces of gear is given , and with a system where the room acoustics and the speakers are coupled rightfully as it is explained in acoustics articles or books ... And the only DSP mandatory is the BACCH filters because no other DSP suppress crosstalk without degradation of timbre ..

Inform yourself before insulting as an answer ...

By the way because i dont like to be perceived as an imbecile i NEVER post one line sarcasm or insult detrimental to someone , save in a friendly humor communication ... NEVER because i CAN give sound arguments and if i could not i recognize my errors and mistakes instead of insulting or mocking ...

By the way your sarcasm in another post about  headphones owner reveal the abyss of your dogmatic ignorance  about acoustics  and your snobism about audiophile  matters ...

 

@mahgister

I think you should just stick to headphones.

 

@grislybutter thanks for the list/table. I am benchmarking against my Nautilus 804.

And which CSS are you referring to? the one in the table CSS Criton 1TD-X?

 

 

@mijostyn I was partially kidding with the screws. Just a bit unusual to see them as exposed as they are in any speaker over say $100 pair. Most would make the REAR panel removable (with 'under' mounted bass driver).
