In Reply to: What are the best immaging speakers you ever heard? posted by Mike in NJ on October 11, 2005 at 14:24:29:
Almost every pair of fullrange (single) drivers I tried on open baffles could give a wide deep soundstage that many audiophiles dream of getting. Some drivers are better than others in this aspect. A few good drivers include the Fostex FF85K, FX200, and FX120. If you really want to hear how good a soundstage could be depicted by two speakers, you owe it to yourself to try at least the FF85K or some other good small fullrange drivers on open baffles.One caveat, though. The soundstage created by a pair of speakers is strongly influenced by the location of the speakers in relation to the walls of the room. Generally, based on my experience, a soundstage pretty much goes only as far back as the back wall, although some imagination could be used to stretch the depth. In my basement, I place the speakers at least 12ft away from the back wall and 8ft from the side walls. To me, it is a joke to get excited about soundstage depth when the speakers are only a few feet away from the back wall.
Cheers,
Kurt
