How tall do you like your images?

I dismiss all stereo speakers that don’t sound like I have front heights, surrounds and back heights active. Many of you stereo purists crumble to dust and get washed down the gutter when the bar is set high (in spite of what you spent). 😉

(Yeah...yeah...your let down sht sounds brilliant!! Don’t i know all about it....)

@deep_333

i have a separate 9.3.6 Trinnov/Dolby Atmos home theater system in a room inside my house. my 2 channel room in my barn ’out multi-channels’ my home theater system with better media. it’s more real at energizing ever molecule in my room at it’s best.

The whole front wall.

@mikelavigne , When you said 9.3.6, i already know you fooked up with cramming too many quantity over quality speakers in a li’l room ( i have a 30 by 35 room and i refuse to go any higher than 5.2.4 for atmos music listening that will startle all 6.023*10^23 molecules that make up your soul, lol)....When you said Trinnov, i already have a feeling that you heavy handed everything with the room correction algorithms and all kinds of crap that made it sound clinical and digital ( you are indeed paying for that lifetime customer support from a dimdim who knows diddly about what’s going on inside that processor, however)....

Soundstage (left to right, right to left) is more important to me than the height of the imaging. Height also seems to not vary much with my system, and is generally in the 3-5 foot range when I am seated.

How do you measure "image" height? Your imagination calculator? Height for performing musicians is relative to your distance from the performers, and the height of their sound...well...are musical notes height quantifiable? My system images well enough that I rarely think about it.

An aside...One of my criticisms of studio mixers is the mixing of drums. Too often they pan a cymbal (or any drum really) so it seems to be played by somebody thirty feet away or the mix showcases a twenty foot wide drum kit...lame.
