And, we keep on searching for speakers, ..

But what? We all want accuracy, staging ....and there it seems to go. So, where are we in this race. I truly do not hear good calls on what anyone thinks truly great soundstaging is. Is someone out there able to makes the Word Soundstaging put into words.

I keep asking, and while we are on this word. What is you room and speakers like? What actually works for you?? Your words may be coming to you in an audio journal?

Thanks.

Definitely cannot know it until you actually hear it.

I only heard sounsstage one time. After listening to many brands, planar and box, I heard it with JM Lab Grands. Nothing else compared.

He described it perfectly!

The best I ever heard was at a close friends house with electronics that he custom built to fit his horn speakers. I listen to his system on a regular basis and have come pretty close in my own system, but his rig is magical in what it can do.

Yeah, Newbee nailed it. Rather than asking people how to describe soundstaging you'd probably be better served by going out and listening to some good recordings on good equipment in a well-treated room. Once you hear excellent soundstaging you'll know it, and you'll no longer need to know or care about how people describe it.

Yeah, soundstaging is like a kind of 'peak experience'.
Once you have experienced it, you KNOW what it is.
Everybody else can 'talk' about it, but they are only spouting 'words as theory'...
For myself I like dipoles best.
Then the musical presentation has to have the 'air' around the performance there or it is just flat anyway.
"air' is another word with a nebulous connotation.
