Widening Soundstage

Gallo Ref 3.1's would be a very good possibility in that room as well.

I just think that you are going to always have a problem with designs that fire mostly forward (or forward and backward) in that room, no matter how good they are otherwise. You need something that fires out more laterally as well to truly address your issue. The Gallos fit that bill.

Get a pair of Shatki Holographs and put a pair of echo busters where your first speaker reflections are...

that will W I D E N the sounstage like nothing you can imagine (with the existing gear you have).

Bobby,

Are you suggesting I toe them out
Both of the speakers ??
I'm worried about the Left speaker as toeing it out will interfere more with the diagonal wall in front (my staircase)

I have no intention of changing speakers the Sasons are fabulous speakers and will be in my possession for a long long time ..I'm just trying to optimize the room and my musical experience

Thanks to everyone for your informative replies
Pat

I think what Bobby P is suggesting is not toed out, but just rotate them outward a few degrees at a time. As you found out, straight ahead results in loss of imaging. Now starting at your original position, rotate them outward gradually. You may find a position somewhere between your original toe in and straight ahead that gives you the balance of imaging and soundstage width you are looking for.

Yes, toe them out. It's free and easily reversible.
