I've tried it all. I get the best soundstage and imaging w/nearfield listening. Speakers are 6 feet apart, and my listening position is 4 feet in front of the speakers. Takes any room issues out of the equation.

Great advice. I have the MA Silver 300 7G in a 11x14x9H room. The biggest issue has been the lack of deep bass with a null from 50-almost 75Hz. Which is the opposite the of the problem I thought I’d have in there. There’s a peak at 40hz but it’s pretty low down unless it’s more bass heavy music. I leave them about 6.5 ft apart and 3 ft from the wall. Speakers 8ft from the chair. It has the best balance in this room. There’s a wall unit where the stereo and speakers exist creating an 6ft wide alcove of sorts and I’ve found the best even response is to bring the speakers out in front of that but have them straddling the insert by half so half the speaker gets a little room gain from the proximity to the alcove front and some image depth from the distance to the front wall inside. ha. My experience with room treatment absorbers to the side sacrificed some of the higher frequencies I enjoyed about the Silvers and I removed them from that spot in the room. The front wall would be worth while to try though. I’ll give that a try.

Respect your knowledge and effort to try and give useful tips for people. (laymen) <br>I noticed a glaring lack of one topic from this " tips " video as with most videos. <br>... Be nice if someone came along and filled in the gaps in these talking points. =)

I just took your suggestions and applied to my room. I had my Sabrina speakers too close together. I set at 7 ft on center and 48 inch from front wall. OMG the soundstage and image so much better. Thanks 🙏. Greg

Great advice I guess a lot of people already no this but you really have to try it in order to be shocked and amazed I listen for many years with my speakers a foot apart right up against the wall I was really blown away one day when I experimented with us I never knew it made such a difference

Thanks for your straight forward aprouch, it worked, only on certain cds. Not all CDs sound stage, imaging. Depends on the quality of the music. Some are recorded well, some simply arnt. Some you can find a good center, but sound stage will suffer, get modern well recorded music, it really helps, The Pink Floyd Pulse CD live is incredible on good CD players and speakers, it will blow your socks off. Anyway thank you for your time and help. Saved me alot of time. That balance of ft. Speaker to speaker, then distance to your listening position, being the same, simply works. Thanks again, and remember folks Pulse CD live. Get and enjoy! 🤘💪❤️😁
