Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage

Realremo - If you have the time, something else to experiment with would be
moving the speakers closer together...on the order of 5-6 ft. center to center.
[Haven't tried to do the math on your room relative to latest recommendations
on distance to sidewalls - these might already get them in the range of 5-6 ft
center to center. For Totem Forests, moving them closer together made a HUGE
difference. Much better bass response, center fill, imaging and resolution. I
realize all speakers will not respond the same but seems like it might be worth
trying if current placement is otherwise.

Edit to post...I've been following this thread but missed Geoffkait's 7-10
recommendation. I agree with him about trying speakers closer together.
Soundstage won't necessarily shrink as you might find the stage to extend well
beyond the outside edge of each speaker. Good luck.

One thing that has been bugging me about this thread seems worth pursuing. Realremo- have you tried revearsing the phase on one of your speakers?

If you have the speakers out of phase (which can happen for a variety of reasons) the imaging information will seem confused, and a lot of it might seem to sit in the speakers.

If this has not been tried it might be worth a test to see if this is an issue. If its not, then I would be satisfied that its time for the pursuit of equipment known for better imaging/depth.

Audio is all about properties. Togheter they make the stage
including the acoustics.

You use a MF converter. MF also gives a wide and sharp
focus. But is still limited in depth. This is a property it
owns. I sold MF for a long time. I also gave MF shows for
the distributer in my country.

You say: I have a wide stage, but not a lot of depth.

Rotel has similar properties in stage like MF. It is a
little less sharp compared to MF, almost no depth.

The Quad L series do not use the best crossovers to give you
a lot of depth compared to other brands who can in this
price tag.

To get a good deep stage, you need more parts to realize
it.

I wish there was an individual block from view setting that I could implement on Audiogon that would save me from anything Bo Bo posts. Like hitting the mute button when the neo-cons open their mouths. Tom

Keep on tweaking tom.....
