How's my imaging?

Hi,

I'm just wondering if my imaging is what it should be, let me explain. When I'm sitting in my listening chair (which is positioned at the apex of where my front speakers would meet since they are toed in), I'm hearing the voices right (directly) in front of me. But instead of being at head level, they are about one to two feet above where my ears are sitting straight up. (Please see my system to get a visiual, under - man cave system) If you pull up the picture of my room, the voices would be coming from the area where the stars on the flag are.

My question is, is this correct imaging or should the voices be lower? If the voices should be lower, what kinds of things could I try to correct it?

Thanks,
Mike

I don't know, is your center channel on or off??? If it's off your result is strange. If on, it's normal... In any case it probably doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things. How does it sound and image otherwise?

My center channel is off. I'm focusing on 2 channel, the center channel is there for future HT.

I think my system sounds really good but I just think that the voice(s) in the center is a little too high.

I don't know what causes it, but a dealer who I respect once told me that within reason the lower the speakers are in respect to your listening height the higher the image will be. I can't swear that is true, but it's not unusual for the image to be higher than the speakers. In fact. it is quite common.

Just think of it as a performer up on a stage and enjoy yourself.
