11. Stereo Width and Imaging

Once you have located the best position for the speakers and your chair for

bass performance, separate the speakers by 50-60% of the distance from your

chair to the speakers. For example, if your chair is 10 feet from the speakers,

move the speakers 5-6 feet apart. Now, move the speakers apart in increments

of 3 or 4 inches at a time, listening carefully at each position. At some point

you will start to hear two separate speakers instead of a stage eﬀect or

continuous image. When this occurs, your speakers are too far apart. Begin

moving the speakers back in small increments until you notice a point at

which you achieve one cohesive sound stage. !

Depending upon the acoustics of your room, the imaging and sound stage may

be better with the tweeters on the inside for listening only in the “sweet spot”.

For a larger audience or listening oﬀ to one side, tweeters on the outside will

keep the image centered for those listening oﬀ-axis. Angle the speakers as

shown in Figures 1 or 2.
