Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C

I would try moving them at least 6 feet apart, (if not 7-8 feet) and pulled out from the back wall 3 feet, (if not more). 4 feet apart is way too close together for a proper stereo image.

The more you move them out from the wall the deeper the soundstage will get, but you will get a decrease in bass response, so you'll need to find a happy medium between depth and bass.

Also, toe them in just a few degrees to start, then try a little more until you hear just the middle images, then toe them back in until you hear your soundstage outside the physical boundries of the speakers.

It's been a long time since I've heard them. From what I remember,that was a good point about the 2C's.I wonder if these are the ones with the batteries in the crossovers that
may need replacing?

4'? Unless your using something like the new Tact Ambiphonics thingamajig, you probably don't have enough room for these speakers or you need to reconsider the placement.

Guys,

Thank you very much for the responses. The room dimensions are 8' x 14'. But the speakers can only be placed against the shorter wall. Now I can stretch the distance between the speakers to about 6 ft but the right speaker will then be too close to the side wall.

Also,I read your placement after(sorry) writing about the crossovers,and Mofimadness is on the right track.Usually unless the manufacturer states otherwise,Try starting out with the triangle theory. If 7 feet apart,then 7 feet to the listening area.If 10 feet wide,then 10 feet to the listening area,and so on.
