Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle??


Playing with speaker placement in hopes of improving focus and image placement etc etc along the width of the soundstage. Voices and instruments seem to be all bunched up in the middle of the soundstage. At wits end...can't seem to get an improvement. Too close to side walls? Too much or too little toe in? Speakers too near or far apart?

Any suggestions?

(1) Agree with Mapman .... Quality of the recording itself will impact your enjoyment.

(2) Which leads me into the next obvious factor: the performance / resolution capabilities of your system, particularly your source , may be an equal or greater contributing factor ... both good and bad perspective.
- The "bad" is intuitive.... Limitation or compromises on resolution on what's there in the recording
- The potential "good" aspect manifests itself wherein a superior source and accompanying system highlights the poor resolution / mastering / other limitations in the recordings re: Point #1 above.
