Seriously now it does show very well depth and width of

Sorry to reply twice to the same posts,

No problemo :-)

but make that 2D, not 3D.
There is no height to the images created by this method (how could
there be with stereo speakers?).

Yes I agree in principal with what you are saying BUT (there is always a
but) the soundstage does have height factor of roughly centre to those
stereo speakers so therefore the sound does occupy 3D space all be it on the
narrow height side.

Further to this my main speakers are (a local custom built Oz brand)
http://www.equinoxaudio.com.au/produ...s/apogee.phpso at 1.5m tall
and the drivers symetrical around the centre tweeter I do find arather good
height dimension as well. Obviously we are not going to bouncing sound
effects off thr oof and floor though ;-)

Cheers TT


Sure it has height, but that height is all to do with a dispersed
speaker source, comb filtering off the floor etc. It has absolutely
nothing to do with a sound stage. So no, the sound stage isn't
actually 3D as it would be if you had top and bottom as well as left
and right speakers.
