"In a properly set up system (including speakers) the only sounds you should hear outside of your speakers (on the same plane as your speakers) should be 'out of phase sounds'."
I might respectfully disagree with this. I think very good drivers/tweeters have a dispersion angle that is quite wide.
I regularly get sounds/instuments beyond the outside and above the boundaries of the speakers (ACI Jaguars with high end Scanspeak tweeters), as well as a soundstage that is quite deep.
The vocalist and instrument pinpointing is there as you suggest and my connections are all correct.
Maybe we are talking about two different things, or I could be confused.
