RE: I've actually been surprised to find MORE realistic sound when sitting off-axis. [nt]

Guess we won't agree on this one.

If the system is set up properly, the phase cancellations and resulting uneven frequency response from different pathlengths to an off-axis listener renders more realistic sound not actually possible. It's not just audible, it's depressingly measurable. Unless you can repeal the laws of physics.

Although I wholeheartedly agree that it can still be highly enjoyable if listening with others, one of whom is in the optimum seat.

However, a wide sweet spot is an oxymoron in stereophony.

IMO, of course...

Best regards,

Jim Smith
