Where should the vocal image be?

Credit on Audiogon really doesn't mean anything, people will still misspell your name even when it is right in front of them. 😂

LOL, sorry Erik

I have used the formulas presented in this link and slight variations or tweaks to enhance imaging and sound stage. The addition of room treatments have helped also.

Good jumping off spot and you will get to your goal on vocal imaging.

Dependent upon speakers, rest of system, toe in, room and room treatments, recording. But generally, I've heard center image vocals as mostly in or behind plane of speakers, only hard panned vocals sometimes extend in front of speaker. This has been a constant with box, open baffle and horn speakers.

The XLO disc is good for that image placement track.

I like the voice or the performers voice in the middle of my speakers and 2 feet in front of my speakers . I will be listening 6.5 ft distance from the Speakers.I also believe it depends on the recording and the system set up.
