You describe what is probably just great sound from an unusually close listening position. If your speakers are small monitors this could well be hog heaven. However, if your speakers are full range floor standers you may not be far enuf back for the multiple speakers to intergrate properly.
strange effects from system rearranging..
I moved my system from the short side of the room to the wide side. I used to sit about six feet from my speakers and I was disappointed by the sound. I moved the system to the long wall close to the corner. Speakers are about 20" from back wall and right speaker is 24" from sidewall. I now sit 3 feet away with speakers toed in and tweeters meeting about 1 foot in front of me. WOW what a difference!
Vocals are dead ahead and full not thin, with drums sharper and bass fuller. Instruments come from behind and around the speakers. Some sounds come from far left and right of the speakers. Now im wrapped in sound. Its like the sound is in an arc in front of me. Im happier with the sound now. I was listening to Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians "Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars" and I was surprised at the quality of the recording. Is this the way a properly setup system is supposed to sound?
