Sound stage height??


I notice that with most recordings I get a full height sound stage, as though I'm sitting right in front of the band. With other music it's more like I'm sitting above the band...........vocals seem to come from lower than my listening height............It's an odd phenomenon. I can only attribute it to how the music was recorded. It can even vary with different songs on the same disc......................My sound stage is typically wall to wall and realistically deep behind the speakers.............but sometimes it's almost like the vocalist is sitting on the floor in front of the band...........Anybody else experience this??................Marantz SA14s1 CDP...........Bryston amps...........Vandersteen 3A speakers...........room is well treated acoustically.

Just a quick interrupt to reiterate that ye olde trial and error methodologies that rely on listening a little, moving a little cannot locate the unique optimum positions for speakers in a given room. It’s like trying to solve a few simultaneous equations in more than a few unknowns. Plus people assume wider apart is better generally.
@shadowcat2016,

Get a copy of "Get Better Sound" by Jim Smith. It's a fun and easy read. Not technical. Good luck.

Good point.

Amazon has da book, I'll be ordering it this evening. As long as I don't have to solve quadratic equations, I'm sure it will be helpful :)

Thank you gentlemen.
I have Vandy 3a Sigs and when I added the Tice The Titan to my Tice Power block the height of the soundstage increased 2 feet. Blew my mind.
