Speaker Placement

In order to realise full stereo dynamics, it is necessary to position your speakers as if they were headphones--- one on the left & one on the right. Sitting at one tip of an equilateral triangle does not work.

Onhwy61---- the source is moi

Tpreaves-- I am not sure if I agree. All of our ears are designed alike.

Djohnson54-- I don't think u understand what I am getting at. I am not saying that one has to sit behind the speakers.

Rlwainwright-- I am referring to the angle of the spkrs--- not the distance.

Manitunc-- The nature of stereo IS two separate sounds. If u want to 'localise' them then listen to mono.

All of our ears are not designed alike. That's like saying all speakers are designed alike.

That's just plain wrong. Sitting at the tip of the triangle absolutely works.

Roscoe, the mechanics of hearing are the same, it's the perception of sound that is different.
