A deeper more holographic soundstage.

I was wondering by what means you have created a deeper soundstage. I am satisfied with the width but I really feel it is a bit 2 dimensional. It doesn't go back far enough. I like more layers of sound that reach towards you from the blackness.
As I've already spent quite a bit on my system I am unable to buy much more expensive components.
Did you upgrade one component that made the difference? Placement of speakers? New footers or tweaks such as Stillpoints?
Two subs instead of one(I have one)? Different placement of subs? I am working with a very tight space so it is difficult to move things without them being in the center of the room.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Problem is you can’t isolate the room acoustics from the loudspeaker position or the loudspeaker, and given the op has limited space, then loudspeaker position and room acoustics cannot be decoupled and must both be considered to achieve the best results.

In order of importance: Loudspeaker. Loudspeaker position. Room acoustics.



w.r.t. George's comment, I don't think tall equipment between speakers is the biggest issue, but anything reflective between them can be an issue including equipment, televisions, etc.  Things closer to the floor are less likely to be an issue.

What speakers do you have @snarfie23? That almost look like something is broken. It is not a suck out, but a total shelving between about 220Hz if I am reading it correctly.

Well, rather than insulting folks who choose to place their equipment between their speakers
Only if you stare at it, in wonderment of what you bought, instead of focusing on the music.

Cheers George
