With the SACD Gaucho by Steely Dan, the band is in the living room. Speakers are Martin Logan Clarities, Magnepan DWMs crossed over at 75hz to 2 10's and a 12 in three boxes. I recently put a 1/2 inch lift in the rear of the MLs, brought the soundstage from a 4 to 5 foot height to about 6 foot height now. The MLs are 5 feet from the rear wall and 4 foot from right sidewall. Left speaker side wall is about 18 foot away in the dining area. The MLs are slightly toed in and the DWMs are on the inside.
The goal was clear, coherent sound with decent bass at any volume. I have two musician friends that sit mesmerized by the SACD's presentation. The journey has been long and satisfying.
