I get this without the Baach-spacial. Ever listen to Amused to Death? The guy is talking at the far end of the room over my left shoulder.
In this sequence HAL is behind/overhead.
Looking for the next level in imaging...
I enjoy my system every time I sit down and listen. But as we all do, we get the itch to seek improvement! I am intrigued by Omnidirectional speakers such as MBL’s, German Physiks etc. and breaking free from the head in a vice sweet spot to get better imaging throughout the room and better the imaging in the sweet spot! I believe changing the speaker will deliver on this quest! What speakers would you look at? Or would changing a component yield the result? Has anyone gone from the traditional dispersion speaker to an omnidirectional?
current speakers are Martin Logan Ethos
budget $20-30K...could stretch if something is exceptional

Yes, I get it at low cost also. The "Mermans" cost me about $1,500 to build with used JBL speakers and Great Heils, and new crossover components. The Yamaha RX-Z9 cost me $4,050 new in 1993 and now has >30,000 hours on it. The Oppo95 was $300 used. So, under $6K complete.
A gent from AK was over and said that he had just auditioned a six figure system that did not image as well. |
If one (who likes can pop, jazz, rock, etc.) buys your Mermans speakers at under $2k is a great bargain. Your system sounds better than many mega buck speakers and systems. And your have much more potential to for higher quality sounds. Alex/WTA |
