Defining the Soundstage

A common problem we find with many set-ups is a tendency to separate the speakers too far from each other. This gives an unnaturally stretched soundstage between the two speakers, and creates problems with focus. The key problem is a lack of soundstage information beyond the left and right sides of the speakers.

If you find that the sound is not spacious enough or you are not getting enough front to back depth, pull the speaker away from the front wall. This is typically preferable to separating the two speakers too far, and will almost always give you better depth and soundstage information. A word of caution though: if you move the speakers too far from the front wall you may lose the focus of the image.

A problem with the soundstage could also be caused by the recording. Try another recording if you cannot achieve what you are trying to do.

Appropriate Mid-bass/Low-bass Balance

Yet another problem is a lack of mid bass energy. In order for the appropriate amount of mid bass energy to be present, the speakers should be close enough together to achieve proper "coupling" of the midrange ribbon driver. Coupling is desirable in the lower frequencies from the mid-bass on down. This simply means that the left and right drivers "work together" as opposed to working separately.

If you find there isn't enough deep bass, your first remedy is the volume control on the woofer amplifier. This has several limitations. First, turned up too high, you may get some distortion on very low frequencies or you may drive the amplifier into protection. Because of the high efficiency of the amplifier, it is unlikely to overheat.

Push the woofer towers back towards the rear- or side- wall. This will increase the coupling of the woofers to the room. Do this procedure in small increments (approximately half an inch at a time) and return often to the recordings you have used to adjust the
