Optimizing Stereo Imaging
Imaging is often overlooked when listening of stereo
speakers. If correctly spaced and arranged with an optimal
toe-in angle, these speakers can create a large involving
soundstage while retaining focused imaging.
Start by placing the speakers so they form an equilateral
triangle with the listener. Rotate each speaker so that it
points towards the listener. With the concentric-driver
utilized in these speakers, you may get best results by
rotating the speaker so that their axes points slightly in front
of or behind the listener. To deterimine which sounds best,
cue up some music and listen to the size and scale of the
sound field, and how focused center voices sound.
Also, try moving the speakers further apart, or closer
together, and listen again for imaging. Be aware that as you
move the speakers further apart, they will come closer to
the side walls. You can compensate for potential sound by
toeing in the speakers to a greater degree. After you try out
different setups, choose the option that sounds the best to
you. There is no right or wrong.
