Stereo Imaging

My rig is a 2-channel/HT combo, but the 2-channel sources run a detour around the multi-channel gear. When I had a large SD RPTV with my center atop it, that illusion happened constantly when listening to stereo sources. Now, with a plasma, and center mounted beneath the TV on a stand, the illusion is rarer. I think this is due to the height of the center image provided by my Ohm Walsh 2000s. Most vocalists appear to be about 5'6" tall, about where my center used to be, but about 3 to 4 feet higher than where it is now. A visual disconnect.

FWIW, I did try my system with a phantom center setting, but on film soundtracks, the center just lacked some oomph that it has when I installed the center channel speaker.

Mikeba316,
Thanks, isn't that a freak out?

Good listening.

Larry,

Yeah. Freaky for sure.

I actually use that drum intro to that song as a test when I try different tweaks and cables. There should be a seamless 360 degree circle from those drums. If part of the circle is missing or it's uneven then something is wrong. I'm experiencing that right now with a tweak I'm trying.

Is this their self titled CD or one of the others? This sounds like something that I'd enjoy hearing.

Right now I have a bassinet "tweak" in front of my right channel speaker. It should only last a few weeks until my wife can handle stairs after her c-section. I can't say that I've been able to turn the volume up enough to notice any difference. It's all about diapers and trying to get some sleep right now.

Mceljo,
Enjoy every minute...before you realize it...little he or she will be out on their own, living their own life, AS THEY SHOULD...but the time passes from this moment to that, all too quickly.

Good listening,
Larry
