Square room Soundstage??

Have you tried corner placement? I also recommend the Sumiko Master Set method of speaker placement especially for challenging rooms.

Yeah. I am glad that might not be my equipment. I did somehow manage to get a crazy soundstsge in the room onetime. It was a weird situation late at night. My amp was picking up noise from just turning my light switch on/off. I still dont know if my amp has problem (recap), or power is not good enough. At least know the equipment is capable.

I using older Exposue XV Super, Exposure wire, System Audio 505s, cheap record player, Marantz 5004 cd player. Want to upgrading turntable to Rega RP3.

First I need to get this sound stage working. I pulled out everthing to a large room to see if I can get better results.

Just dont know how to know if I having problems due too poor room or amp having issues. The amp is old but people speak highly of the amp. It does seem to have great dynamics and musical factor. plus a nice phono stage. I know with a sound stage I will be very happywith this amp. My first attemt at Hi Fi. I am willing to re cap if nessary.

Equipment is minor. The equipment plays the room. First configure the best way to place the speakers. Then worry about equipment.

Apart from DIY, atsacoutics has the cheapest panels and corner traps that I've seen.
