I have a new pair of X series Spatial Audio speakers that just stun me with their realism. Great OB speakers created by the research of Clayton Shaw. Best value and best representation of OB speakers on the market today. Of course, your other components make it happen also. I have a Don Sachs pre, Carver tube amp, all fed by a tube DAC. Finest system I've had. I spend a lot of my time listening to music lately.
Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions
Can you tell the positions of instruments in orchestra from your favorite orchestral music CD/SACD/LP/...?
For example, horns and percussion from the back and strings from the front?
Telling the left and right positions are not that hard, but the front and back?
If your answer is convincing yes, could you tell me about your speakers/amps/source/cartridge and the recording?
I could feel a little bit of 3D imaging on my Apogee Diva, but not as much as I could when I listen to orchestral music from live concerts. I feel far less from my Harbeth C7es and Tyler Linbrook signature systems.
