Hi OP, I’ve attempted this Bob Robbins slash Sumiko method a couple of times and it seems to work pretty well, but what has always eluded me is Robbins’s description of a locked center image between the speakers that doesn’t move regardless of your listening position.
Just recently I’ve taken a stab at achieving this in earnest and am happy that I’ve got my speakers so that the image stays put SOMEWHAT. I’m not getting this religious experience people talk about when the two speakers are perfectly locked with a 26 foot wide soundstage, though it does sound pretty good. At this level a single millimeter of movement on the second speaker makes a difference so more trial and error is needed.
I’d be curious if anyone else has achieved this perfectly locked center image in their setups? Was it the result of extremely subtle movement and did it deliver an epiphany?
