Thanks again -- that's more great advice. I'll work on speaker placement and reflections. The room is a living room, therefore far from ideal: hardwood floors and rugs, fireplace to the left, window wall to the right, large asymmetrical openings at all 4 corners, and a 65-inch RPTV between the speakers (blanket over the TV makes a huge difference.) I guess I shouldn't expect much better sound than what I'm getting. Eventually I'll get a room that will justify the equipment. But in the meantime, I'll keep working it.
Speaker phase and timing
I have a Roger Waters CD that is recorded in Q-Sound. When played, a dog bark is supposed to sound "like it is in the neighbor's yard." However, on my system, it is pegged just left of center between my speakers.
Apparently, my speaker phase and/or timing is wrong. I have tried moving/angling the speakers to little effect. The best I got was sitting three feet from the speakers and the dog bark then came straight from the right speaker. I have fairly decent equipment (Wilson/Krell/Nordost), so perhaps the room is the problem?
Can anyone coach me on how to adjust for proper speaker phase and timing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
