How's my imaging?

My center channel is off. I'm focusing on 2 channel, the center channel is there for future HT.

I think my system sounds really good but I just think that the voice(s) in the center is a little too high.

Herman,

Interesting you say that because I've told myself that that is exactly what it is, the singer is performing up on stage.

Robert,

Hello! From the inside of the front speaker to other inside of the other front speaker it is 7'5". It is 9'4" to my listening position.

The main vocals are directly in front of me and are consistently at the area which I described (where the stars are). As a matter of fact, a few people have asked me to move the flag to make sure that a speaker wasn't behind it. I'm very happy with the clarity, I just don't think the voice(s) should be that high. Then again, I've never heard music before that sounded this good.

I'll try and move my seating position in a little and see how that affects the imaging (I'd rather not bring the front speakers out too much farther if I don't have too).

Luis,
I don't have any acoustical treatment on any of my walls of ceiling. I'll have to get to that some day.

One thing that I have to say is that the main vocals are precisely in front of me. I just didn't know that they were going to be as high as they are. From the way it sounds though, it's actually a good sign and also normal with some types of speakers. I'd be interested to hear what some others have to say about their imaging of the main vocals and where they are height wise in relationship to their ear level (sitting down in their preferred listening position.

I changed some of the distances, the changes were:

1. 8'5" feet between the two front speakers (from the center of the woofer cone to the center of the other woofer cone)
2. 9'0" feet between the plane (face) of the front speakers to my seating position when sitting back

Results:
No real change. The image of the center portion comes down as I sit more upright.

I'm going to leave it like it is for a while.

Thanks for all your comments!
Mike

Luis,

Thanks for the tips. I would like to see if I can get the center imaging down a little. It's not really critical but I'll have to try your suggestion. You might also be right that I have a ceiling reflection situation. I don't have any type of absorbative or reflective material on any of my walls to include my ceiling. I'll eventually have to address that issue.

Thanks again for your suggestions,
Mike
