Limited soundstage between speakers


No matter what the source, the soundstage in my system remains within the width of the speakers. I read with envy of systems which extend the soundstage outside the speaker boundaries. Is this a problem with my speakers, amplification, room boundaries or something else?

What change should I make to improve the soundstage?

If this album soundscape is only  in between your speakers common  plane, and dont fill the room with the organ near your listening position outside of the speaker completely and the drum behind the speakers with the sax in front of the speaker, your speaker room relation is not well controlled...

one of my favorite guitarist...

That is exactly why he is awesome...

This is a myth coming from the gear fetichism obsession and ignorance in most audiophile circle...

And dont confuse my perspective with the obsessed objectivist measures deluded crowd facing the subjectivist "tasting" gear crowd by the way....two groups linked by the same gear fetichism but in opposing direction... 😁😊

 

 

There is no PERFECT REPRODUCTION from a recorded cd or vinyl, there is ALWAYS a  RELATIVE TRANSLATION from the recorded acoustical cues of the original lived event, but interpreted and selected by the trade-off calculus of the recording engineer INTO your speakers/room acoustic relation ..

You have here one set of acoustic choices translated to another set of acoustic choices determined by the geometry, the topology, and the acoustic content of your room...

A relative  translation never an identical reproduction is possible... Acoustic and psycho-acoustic science determine what is sound and music experience in a room... Not electronical engineering by itself alone sorry...

No acoustian give a dam about gear fetichism, no musician either , guess why?

Think about it....

My goal is to reproduce the recording as accurately as possible.

Thanks for your approval or interest...

I am a retired old fool who take refuge in music after my acoustic journey ending, against a world becoming completely mad...

No common basis of discussion...

in sound/music the common basis is essentially acoustic and psycho-acoustic...Gear choices so important they are, are second to acoustic ... Guess why?

 

In geopolitic it is simple agreed facts are the common basis  not propaganda....

If we cannot look for a common basis of discussion grounded in simple facts in the world, not propaganda, there will be no peace; and if we cannot look for a common basis of dicsussion grounded in acoustic facts not gear obsession there will be no musical acoustic optimal experience ...

Different worlds, same madness... Propaganda or publicity, always lies....

Agreed. Cutting to the chase, I think any audiophile would know this.
