soundstage

Hi guys. I need your advice, as you are certainly more experienced than me. I have a smsl c200 and I have the Arya organic and the Kiwi Ears aether iems (both with 4.4mm connection). I was looking at the fact that the Fosi zh3 was recently released, I would like to understand if making the...

Hi, As the title says, i’m looking for an IEM with a truly wide soundstage for under $200. I’m aware of models like the LETSHUOER S12 Pro and the 7Hz Timeless, and i know people often praise them for having a wide soundstage. But what exactly do they mean by “wide soundstage” considering these...

Hi guys, I'm been a lurker in the site/forums over the past few days and, based on the site's (excellent and detailed) reviews of DACs and amps, I purchased a Topping E70 DAC and a Topping A50s amp. I plan to drive a pair of Kiwi Ears Septet IEMs with the E70/A50s. The DAC will be solely...

Dear community, headphone enthusiasts, audiophiles and mixing professionals, I am searching for a good pair of open-back headphones to use for: - mainly studio mixing (in combo with my Neumann KH150 for checking bass/details), this is the number 1 priority - mixing/producing binaural content -...

For those using CanOpener with the Hifiman Ananda Nano and applying the Harman curve EQ: Since the Ananda Nano’s soundstage is center-focused, what are your complete settings in Goodhertz CanOpener for optimal crossfeed and better critical soundstaging, especially for mixing?

If imagination plays a role, does that mean that soundstage could be perceived differently if two or more people were present in the same room?

Hello everyone! Amirm is often commenting in his headphone reviews about how equalizing a headphone changes its spacial qualities; suggesting that the perception of space/soundstage is importantly dependent on frequency response. A question comes to my mind. Let's assume two almost identical...

Had the fun idea of flipping my desktop speakers on their backs and it somehow made them sound better (bigger soundstage maybe)??? I'm assuming this is a result of the port facing downwards as opposed to them shooting backwards and therefore adding more to the low end. Anyone else have...

There are some similar threads about what imaging and soundstaging even is, and some threads about how to measure it (we're not great at that). In this thread I thought it would be interesting to have a look what properties is likely to enable a speaker to be good at this. My (!) definition of...

Is there a relationship between LF driver size and soundstage size? If so, what is the nature of the relationship? D (Direct relationship) I (Inverse relationship) F (Flawed-by-design reasoning to this query) I brought this up in another thread (maybe not-so-relevant there on second thought)...

I am in the market for wide dispersion/large soundstage speakers. Basically for the enveloping sound. My research has benn leading me to ohm walsh. If you have heard of omnidirectional speakers that can provide the imaging and bass response of direct firing speaker please do share your thoughts.

Please share your experience if you listened to the Dynaudio Evoke 20 in person. I am a sucker for the dynamics(snare) and a wide sweet spot. How did they perform for that ? How would you describe the Soundstage and dynamics ? Overall impression? Which other speaker would you recommend in a...

Moved studio monitors from corners to ~30% the length of the side walls closer. They are near the sidewalls, per Genelec recommending keeping them closer, or if there is space making sure they are more than 1.1 meters from the wall. this follows the first rule for the side walls, and the second...

After reading the books by Toole (Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms) and Geddes (Premium Home Theater : Design & Construction) I have a few residual questions. It is very likely that I did not comprehended 100% of what I read and that these leftover...

For me, I prefer headphones/speakers that have the correct frequency response even if I have to forfeit some of the imaging/spatial qualities of sound. What do you prefer?

Hello, I have a question to all headphone lovers here. What are the most hugely, yet holographic (detailed) sounding headphones, that also give you 3D-soundstage audio feeling, you have ever heard? I mean that the instruments you would hear in the song give the feeling that they are really in...
