To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners
I have heard that speakers will disappear, when they're set up correctly. The only time I've experienced this, is when I had a pair of Martin Logan Monoliths. It took me literally years, to figure out the panels I placed on both sides of them etc. Completely different sound, just sayin. My present placement is 54" from the side walls and 42" from the back walls-slightly towed in. I have tried every which way but loose, as far as the distance from each wall and the toe-in angle. Really wide and more towed in. Let me be clear-I have a VERY good sound stage and image, vocals are coming from right in front of me, but when I look at them (this may sound weird) I can hear the speaker. I basically have an equilateral triangle , as far as my listening position goes. Does anyone out there have the Wilsons and are not experiencing this? Don't get me wrong-they sound absolutely fantastic, but as far as "disappearing"-not so much. I did achieve this when listening to the "White Album", but it was mixed differently. Thought I had it solved, till I played a more modern LP.. FYI-I have mucho sound absorption- up, down, rear and first reflection points. I'm in the process of building QRD diffusers, but it will be a few more months till I get them completed.(a QRD-23 in the front and a couple of QRD-11's in the back). I loved the sound of the Martin Logans, but like the sound of full frontal, in your face, better. Maybe I'm expecting too much? FYI have Krell FPB-600 monoblocks pushing the Wilson's.
