Soundstage on the Druids is fully-dimensioned (appropriately wide, tall and deep) when you have them positioned properly for your room and seating position, and you're seated to take advantage of the resulting soundstage. It's not difficult to find the right placement. A little intuition on toe-in for a start and progressive adjustment from there will help you snap them to spatial focus in 10 minutes or so. The imaging sweet spot isn't one-head-width's tight like a Quad ESL. For near and mid-field listening you have some latitude in your position but tightest focus is perhaps in the seating space of 2, maybe 3 people. That said, imaging fall-off outside the sweet spot is gradual, and when you can get away from the speakers, this issue becomes quite uncritical.
What will be noticeable on first listen from a near/mid-field position is that the soundstage is elevated somewhat, as though you are close enough to a stage to sense the reality that the performers are a little above you. The FRD is almost 4 feet above the floor.
The 6 Moons review pretty much nails the Druid. Surprising really, to see a product reviewed so closely to my actual experience with it. It is a speaker of unusual immediacy and intimacy that outputs coherent life-like sound, sacrificing nothing in terms of dynamics to produce real tone.
