Sound Stage and Imaging

In spite of my criticism about some of your posts  where you discredited headphone owners , i appreciate that you are generally not only polite but patient...

By the way i like you as you are and you can be useful for information you deliver rightfully ...

this does not means that all you claims reflect absolute truth as you already know for sure ...😁

Dont change but try to open your eyes for other possibilities ...

Remember that i dont entertain grudges... But i like to be factual and sometimes more philosophical and i argue too much for some ... They even could be right ... 😊😉

my best to you as usual ...

Magister, you are over analyzing me. I am a simpleton, a rather rude one. Blame my parents.

I build my own room mechanical equalizer ...And i modified my speakers and all my headphones for the better i hope that this exclude me from the crowd of ignorant passive consumers audiophiles ?

If you are building your own loudspeakers you are most definitely a true audiophile in the best sense.

@grislybutter "254 Hz is middle C! 350 Hz is well into the mid range. RAISE THE CROSSOVER POINT for the subwoofer" The Nautilus 804 has no subwoofer, just 'woofer'. And small ones to begin with, so 350 Hz does NOT sound like a very high frequency for a 165mm cone (in fact the true MIDRANGE speaker has about the same size !!! playing all the way to FOUR THOUSAND Hz!)

And messing with the crossover of a fairly successful commercial speaker is "dangerous" IMO. The I'd rather do a full DIY and safe a few thousand dineros.

@kraftwerkturbo One more idea: Celestions are famous for their imaging. Under a $500 for a SL 6. Add 2 midrange subs and still under budget?

Too much thinking/evaluating options. Had a pair of local Vanderstein 1 slip by (gone now for $250), not sure if that is a loss. Friend has 2B, but not suitable audition room, but sounded 'easy', 'light', 'airy'. 

@grislybutter reading up on SL6 (SL6s? SL600). Also Thiel CS1 (xxx) mentioned in this context. Opinions?
