in the sense the 'reverb' and/or 'decay' floats into each other's fields..THAT'S beautiful my friend!
But what I'm trying to describe is hearing let's say a vocal or trumpet dead center and 'occasionally' hearing parts come from middle left (or right).I'm looking at a lot of things; may need to do a overhaul on my XO's, try perhaps some Cardas copper instead of the silver, resolder the joints, perhaps a new inductor (why not, they're cheap!). Thanks for the info sir!

But what I'm trying to describe is hearing let's say a vocal or trumpet dead center and 'occasionally' hearing parts come from middle left (or right).Sounds like a positioning / unwanted reflection thing to me. Don't think flipping caps will help you out here. Could also be you have your speakers positioned a little too far apart from each other compared to the distance to your listening seat.
I did reposition the panels that were almost at an angle were the tweeters would be firing dead at my nose (at the apex); GOOD results noted including the removal of 'harshness' from muted trumpets.Will further evaluate positioning and 'pinpoint' effect in the upcoming days.
Thanks my friend, best of all it didn't cost me a red cent! I owe you one;)

I repositioned the panels 'back' so they're 'almost' squared along their plane. Thanks again; I guess I'm guilty in regard to how something so innocent and overlooked; positioning can be. Not perfect by any means at this point but definitely an improvement-

Ok, with you now. I possibly have the same thing at times although not very often and I'm not using stands either. Perhaps that's where we're both missing out. Good luck.Cheers,
