I finally found the imaging, stage and depth from my speakers but it's 5 feet off the floor. How do I move this to the seated position? I have Maggie's 1.6's that are connected to Jolida 302a through a CJ preamp.
Thanks for the advice. I'll call Wendel. We probably have a great deal in common in terms of quality fundamentals as I have been in the quality/technical field for 25 years.
I do not understand your problem. When I sit in my seat my ears are between 4' & 5' from the floor. The sweet spot is never at floor level because the speaker drivers are not horizontal along to the floor but vertical from floor to ceiling except center speakers for HT.
When I'm sitting in my listening chair my ears are 3.6 feet from the floor. In my case the music is much more dynamic and engaging at 5 feet plus. By manipulating the speaker placement in my room, I was able to lower the sweet spot somewhat. It's much better now thanks to feedback I received from this thread.
Is your head above the chairs back, also do you use a chair or couch? If you sit forward does the sound also get better? Where is the sound stage, high on the wall or at head level and lower?
