Soundstage - Too much?

jadem6, i'm pretty much w/ewe on this, except, i'd say not *even* in a dead room, but *especially* in a dead room. quality speakers and electronics have the ability to transmit this info if it's on the recording, *if* the info isn't smeared by competing 1st-reflections of a room, which will confuse the ear-brain & ruin these subtle cues. thus, my opinion that *no* sidewall reflections is key to a wide soundstage.

Much better communicated Sedond. I think the sidewall reflection does smear the image, damn your good.

Acoustic theory is based on a perfectly shaped sound wave. The better the equipment or source the more accurate a sound wave will be created. A bad recording or a bad piece of equipment will distort this wave giving you different results.

You are right that the speakr is recreating the recoreded sound stage. I think though that it does it through perposly useing reflection points.
