How to add depth for classical music

Audioholics. Now there’s an enlightened bunch. Roll eyes. 🙄 

Room treatments and room correction and yes ignore SR.

I’ve managed to get the best imaging and depth I’ve ever gotten from a stereo system...in a room utterly devoid of any specific room treatments, and in a room with its share of supposed issues.

What I did was do the best I could to place the speakers and my listening chair as far out into the room as reasonably possible while keeping suitable distance between speakers and chair. I got out the measuring tape and carefully put my listening chair as close to dead center between the speakers as possible. I experimented with toeing the speakers in, having them fire straight ahead, and making it so the speakers fired away from each other. I eventually adjusted them so they fire very slightly inward. I experimented with speaker grills both on and off. I left them on (!). Agreed, I’ve got some pretty decent components -- such as a PrimaLuna Integrated Amp, Nola Boxer speakers and a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge, but nothing remotely state-of-the-current-art. I also have absolutely zero electronic imaging gizmos.

Finally, I got to tell you I’m pretty much a classical guy.

Imagine how much easier your life would have been with better room treatments.   :)

eric -- yeah, but think of all the fun I would've missed playing Boy Scientist.
