3-Dimensional Soundstage

@mahgister - I have just read through my prevoius post and noticed that I had made reference to the words "you".and "your" in the paragraph...

But it turns out that cables are no different from any other component

• excellent components can command some very high prices
• but you will never get to fully appreciate just how good they are if your cables are poorly designed
• just as - you will never get to fully appreciate just how good your system is - if the aocustics of the listening space is lacking treatment

This was an error on my part, since I was not actually refering to you or your system - the comments were meant to be interpreted in a more generalised manner

• I should have chosen my words more wisely - what I really meant to say was....

My apologies - I do think we are in agreement about the roles of cables and acoustic treatments, but my unfortunate choise of words let me down in this instance.

I think so....

I apologize myself , your post was clear enough, it is just that sometimes i like too much the discussion arena for the sake of discussing ... 😁😊

My deepest respect to you...

Generally speaking, my observations have been that if you want depth, you need to treat the area between the speakers and behind the listener.  Diffusors between the speakers, first reflection, etc.

Interesting thread

My room is unfortunately practically square. I do get some layering which I'm content with. The one time I was able to hear real depth is when I was sitting on the floor listening to my new stand mounts (no stands yet).The soundstage was way beyond the walls and out in the yard. Very cool but bizarre.
