The best image I ever got was from a pair of Dalquist speakers. 5
drivers per box, rather inaccurate response but amazing stereo when
positioned with lots of clear space around them.

FWIW as a general rule I tend to find you tend to get better imaging
if the speakers and listening position are all well clear of the
walls. Beyond that it becomes a matter of having the patience and
ability to keep experimenting and adjusting positions, etc. If
circumstances prevent this then it may be impossible to get a good
image, alas.


For me, clear of the walls is not an option. But I'm not so compulsive that
my life will be ruined for lack of a decent stereo image. As per your and
Laurence's advice I'll carry on tweaking within the room constraints.
Thanks.



When I see this 'stereo sweet spot' obsessiveness creeping in to the
proceedings, I visualize a dentist's chair bolted to the floor with
velcro wrist restraints on the arms....
