Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Speaker imaging problems with certain instruments

Something ain't right.

One possibility is a mismatch in the midrange and/or lower treble region between the two speakers.

Another possibility is you have strong, asymmetrical room reflection characteristics that change with frequency.

Another possibility is the violin soloist was recorded separately from the rest of the orchestra, and was mixed back in out-of-phase with the orchestra. I've heard this with vocalists on occasion.

A remote possibility is that your speakers are wired out of phase, or perhapse the midrange or tweeter is wired out of phase on one speaker - either of which could make a center-mixed voice or instrument (like a soloist) seem "spacey".

A final possibility is that the audio gods are tormenting you because you haven't offered up an acceptable sacrifice recently. See your local dealer and he will assist you in transacting a suitably generous sacrifice.

Cheers,

Duke
