Speaker imaging problems with certain instruments

Posted by albertoderoma (A) on March 21, 2007 at 20:11:43

Is it me or are there some instruments that most speakers cannot keep properly positioned in the soundstage?

I hava a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors that have amazing pinpoint imaging with most recordings, but if I play a violin concerto the sound from the solo violin jumps all over the soundstage like a chipmunk on espresso. Left, right, up, center, far right, far left, down, center, now up, now down.

It's quite distracting and definitely detracts from the listening experience.

Have other people experienced the same with violins or other instruments.

Is it something about the frequency and waveform of the violin that challenges speakers?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks,

Alberto DeRoma
