I have three thoughts on this subject, have been considering it awhile myself as I listen around. 1. visual illusion affects the listening experience; small boxes image better because they look smaller and somehow that makes the image illusion more effective. 2. Sizzly tweeters kill imaging. 3. Room placement is probably more important to imaging than anything else. With all this said, the best-imaging speakers I've ever heard were Dynaudios, although my experience is not all that broad. Will be interested to hear other opinions.
Imaging
I have always heard that monitors image and disappear better than floorstanding speakers.Is this absolutly true.
If not,what floor standers offer the same transparency as monitors?I have an Aragon 8008BB dual mono amp,Presence Audio dual mono tube amp,Rega Planet 2000 cd player,Cardas Twinlink speaker cables,Audioquest Coral interconnects and finally the weakest link-a pair of 10 year old Mirage 360 monitors.I am in the market for speakers and am open to any good recommendations.I would like to stay under 2.5k.
Thanks,johnny7
