Klipschorn Imaging


I have a pair of 1980s klipschorn for about a year. I have not heard anything sound this large or so dynamic, but for about a couple of months I have been trying to get them to image well and I am failing.
I have Onkyo TX SR806 (I have some HDMI sources) with pre amp out to MiniWatt 2.5 watt tube amplifier.
One is in the corner flush while the other has wall only on one side (no chance of getting a wall there and false corner likely will look bad).
I have tried using Sonic Impact T amp and that did not provide any imaging either.
The room is 25 ft by 25 ft with the speakers about 10 ft apart.
Is this just the nature of the speaker or has anyone been able to achive good holographic imaging?
Thank you for your inputs.

Khons will image just great if properly set up. I have had them 21’ apart and they imaged fine.
Your set up will not affect the imaging only affect the bass because their not booth tight into corners
Most of your imaging takes place in the upper frequencies their are some things I would like you to check.

1st is your source a good 2 channel stereo source

2cnd is the polarity from amp to both speakers correct

3rd put you ear to each tweeter make sure they are working

4rth compare each speaker and see if all the drivers are the same polarity and terminals match at the barrier strip.

5th Is it time for new crossovers?

Being that you are using a tube amp the imaging should be vivid and holographic Because Khorns are in corners does not affect their imaging but it does affect their depth of sound stage. When I had mine set up you could picture the orchestra instruments and singers in their prospective places.
