Getting it right is like getting to Carnegie Hall, practice, practice, practice.
I've had my Wharfedale Linton speaker stands for a couple of days now and with my JBL 4319 monitors in the same space and position, I have the widest sweet spot imaginable.
I got this cheap couch a while back that's ergonomically perfect for my height and I can move anywhere in the 56" seating width and still hear what I can in the exact middle. Never had that happen before.
All I lose is the center image stability, and it's perfectly fine for casual listening. These new stands puts the top third of the mid range driver just below my ear and almost halves the distance between it and the tweeter.
They're toed in to just an inch or so outside my ears so all this tells me I can reduce the toe in some and still retain the coverage of the horizontal spread and move the outside limits of the soundstage some to what I was used to.
They look rather imposing next the the TV (sitting up that high) but the additional amounts of musical info I'm getting is wonderful. The only trade off was a slight lessening of the base which turned out to just be a loss of bloom as the base tightened up some. (I used to have them on some low and angels back stands much like the L100 come with).
It's moments like these that make this hobby so much fun.
All the best,
