RE: Image height

Thanks for the very helpful response and interesting links.

On the same recording, track 14 has solo tenor sax which seems to move both higher and towards the center as the notes rise in frequency.
At about 30" in, he holds a high note which is both elevated in the soundstage and dead center.

Checked the digital input signal for that track, and at that point it has converged to mono. Maybe this is not just the pineal effect, but a byproduct of Chesky's purist approach to micing.

In general with these speakers, I find that higher frequencies tend to be somewhat higher in the image, though nothing like the finger snaps. When the violins in a symphony soar, so does the image.

Somewhere on this Asylum there is post by Josh, regarding the Infinity RS-1B I think, in which he notices that the higher frequencies appear higher in the soundstage, and comments that no reviewers have mentioned this. Made me wonder if it had to do with line source speakers.
