Big upgrade

I just installed a projector in the "media room" portion of our finished basement. By doing this, I was able to ged rid of the 50" plasma that sat between my speakers. WOW, what an upgrade! The soundstage exploded in all directions. Most noticeably, depth. It makes sense that removing a large, acoustically reflective rectangle from the middle of the speakers would make a difference, I just wasn't expecting such a huge difference.

Take a look at my system pics. The two acoustic panals leaning on the screen make a significant difference with the soundstage in the room. The front of the speakers are five feet in front of the screen!

Actually I think I could do better.

Having a big refelctive surface in the middle of your speakers is not ideal for soundstage effects.

No problem, Ebm, but you got to realise that sometimes we have revelations or problems with our systems and we want to discuss it with other members.

You`re welcome to take part in any threads that I initiate.

I've been told that one would get a big improvement by placing an acoustic panel in front of a big screen while just listening. Haven't done it yet but it seems to make sense.
