Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: So here's the difficult part

I am struggling to see why any of the things you mentioned would matter. So what if you sit in a slightly different spot? We are talking about the sound drifting around...not just in another fixed position. I am also not talking about drifting from the left to right speaker here...I am talking about subtle shifts that blur image specificity and degrade soundstage accuracy. Also, why would SPL be relevant...nevermind that I would set it probably by ear to within a couple of db. A preamp or amp that doesn't do it, doesn't do it at any level. FWIW, when I am reviewing I set the levels to within 1db for comparisons.

If I keep everything but one item the same and then the sound is wandering a bit, doesn't that strongly suggest that it was the new item? Only if there is an interaction issue might you have a point. But preamps feeding the same amp is unlikely to have such an issue.

My experience is that the amplification most often deserves the blame.
