Thanks Trevor, you are not to the first to mention artificial image
depth or the fact that there would potentially be a trade off in other
areas but I suspect you are correct. In my current setup it seems that
all the players are seated on a widish park bench playing beautifully,
but I continue to search for an improvement. Room is 6m x 5m so I am
trying some bigger speakers soon, see if that helps a bit. Thanks to
you all for the feedback and comments.


OK you've had a variety of responses which is all well and good, but it
seems to me you are letting the dogma/denial boys put you off what you once
heard for yourself - that, against all the odds, some kit will image better
than other stuff. In the same room, on the same source, I can flick to and
fro between two amp/speaker pairings switching *imaging and depth* off and
on like a bathroom light!

Make the effort to hear some of the suggestions yourself (SET/Gainclone
amps, FR or 1st Order crossover only speakers) or be prepared to wander the
planet for another few years! You asked: "Anybody got a system out there
that creates that holgraphic soundstage on the track I mention above?" I
have (I told you), I even have a pair of speakers on this computer:

that will pinpoint an image right behind the monitor, even sitting at the
keyboard! (Has been heard by a few posters here...)

Forget all this crap about 'artificial image' - it's *all* artificial, it's
an illusion created in your heard whether it's stereo or 7.1 surround
sound.....

EOT.....
