In my opinion, all the equipment in between the speakers is destroying your 3D soundstage. Try to keep all audio equipment below the height of the speakers close to the floor see here @ 3:30.

Acoustics experts - a little help please
Hey all,
I have 9 foot ceilings and I sit in a 9 foot equilateral triangle with my speakers. Do I need to treat the ceiling? Absorption or defraction? I'm trying to get a deeper more 3D soundstage.Speakers are 46" from the front wall which is treated with absorption and defraction.
Thanks!

@ditusa This is great advice, components and racks not good room treatments. My sound stage extends from very near floor to ceiling, coherent life size images require properly designed acoustic treatments on front wall, diffusion works for me. |
I am sure a professional would help. I am currently treating my HT/2 channel listening area. I read several forum discussions, watched several videos and consulted with ChatGPT before proceeding. I found ChatGPT to be excellent. You send the dimensions of your room, equipment, room specifics (windows, carpeting, furniture etc) and even send it pictures of your room. |
BTW, even though ChatGPT recommended it, I chose not to treat my ceiling. Floor to ceiling Bass traps in all corners, front & side wall absorption, rear wall deflection. I did not want to overdo it & have thick wall to wall carpeting & a large overstuffed couch. Early indications are excellent. Improved clarity, no loss in dynamics. |
