I have a pair of Acoustat 1+1's and they're pretty darned persnickety about placement with regards to sound stage. Add in the inevitable requirement for compromise in a shared living space, in this case the living room, and my options become more limited. A couple of weeks ago my spouse noted that the speakers seemed further in the room. By two inches. "Really hon? I hadn't noticed..."
That said, they are pretty much in the ball park where they are usually so good on me. ![]()
Additionally, because they are so sensitive to placement every few months for fun I tweek them a bit for a different stage. Accutely toed in they produce a fairly wide sound stage. However, seemingly counter-intuitively, if I open the angle a bit the image becomes pinpoint sharp in the center and moving my head either way skews the sonic image. It's pretty amazing really.
Anyways, nothing productive to add to the post. Just wanted to chime in.
Happy listening.
