What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging?


Experience has taught me that hardware is critical, but of course so are the room/treatments, the speakers themselves,and the recording's engineering/mastering quality.

But I would have to say that the biggest influence is the room, with speakers and mastering a close second...

What do you say?

That’s easy. The speakers must be connected in phase.

No horns, toe in just right, stable speaker footing, nothing between the speakers, that means equipment rack/s tv ect.
Speakers should be out from the back wall, and in from the side walls.

Contrary to George’s opinion, horns can provide excellent imaging if somewhat reduced SS depth. Just another pointless dig at horns he feels he must insert.
