No image from Vandersteen 2ci sigs?


I'm new to the hobby & just put my system together with 2c's, a CJ MF2200 & a PV 10AL. I can't seem to get the speakers to image well in my room. The speakers are forced to be kiti-corner in the room fairly close to the side walls & rear walls (i.e. every side less than two feet away from the wall, more like 1 foot in spots) No matter where I place the speakers I just can't get a nice image or soundstage. The room does not allow many options for placement & I really have no other choice than place the speakers on the outer edges of the entertainment center. I really love the natural sound of the speakers but am missing the soundstage that I really desire. What can be done in this room?

Proper placement is a fairly important to achieving the best performance from any speaker, and the Vandy 2Ce is no exception. The owner's manual that comes with the Vandy 2-series and 3-series speakers is quite specific about setup, although I have found that some toe-in is often beneficial.

It would be helpful in formulating a response to your question to know more about the size and arrangement of your listening room. For example:
1. what are the room dimensions, including the ceiling shape?
2. where is the furniture placed in relation to your speakers?
3. is there any furniture between the speakers (such as your entertainment center), or between the speakers and your listening spot?

One problem I can immediately identify is the proximity of the speakers to the side and rear walls. To get the best sound from your Vandy speakers, they really need to be at least 3 feet from side walls, with a minimum of 2 feet (and preferably 3 feet or more) from the rear walls.
The room is 14'x16'7' with a flat ceiling. The entertainment center is between the speakers. There is no other furniture in front of or around the speakers. One speaker is within 9 inches of a glass/wood french door. There is no possible way to have ANY speaker 3 feet from the glass/wood door in the room, unless you move the speakers closer together, they are 88 inches apart (center to center) & I sit 124 inches away from the speakers.
I had the 2ce's. I'm sorry to say it but I had to move to a different speaker.
