If not, you might be appreciating an interaction effect of copper x ______. 😜 If you trial these blind, I’ll admit it will be interesting. If you go it alone and all is sig... | |

| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? Soundstage can be at least as much dependent on how a recording / track was mastered (or remastered) as it might be on speaker model / placement x room.
